Question

Sum of two numbers is 3/4 an one of the number is 1/8. Find the other number.​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the required no.be x.

1/8 + x = 3/4.

x = 3/4- 1/8

= l.c.m of 8 and 4

= 3 × 2/8 + 1×1/16

= 6/8 +1/8

= 7/8 Ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the other no. be x.

Now,

x + 1/8 = 3/4

x = 3/4 - 1/8

x = (3×2 - 1)/8

x = (6 - 1)/8

x = 5/8

So, the other number is 5/8
