Question

sum of 2 numbers is 37/7. If one number is 1/5 find second number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second number be x

So , 1/5 + x = 37/7

x = 37/7 - 1/5

LCM of 5 and 7 is 35

so 37×5/7×5 - 1×7/5×7

= 185/35 - 7/35

= 178/35

5+3/5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Now let the unknown number be x/y

$1/5+\frac{x}{y} =\frac{37}{7}$

∴37/7-1/5=x/y

⇒x/y=$\frac{37}{7} -\frac{1}{5} =\frac{37*5-1*7}{35}$

⇒185-7/35

∴The second number is 178/35
