Question

sum of two rational number is 3/8.if one number is 2/16then find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

Other Rational Number = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ;

• Sum of two rational numbers = 3 / 8

x + y = 3 / 8

• One of the number = 2 / 16

x = 2 / 16

y = ?

2 / 16 + y = 3 / 8

y = 3 / 8 × 16 / 2

y = 3 /8 × 8

y = 3

Second Rational number = 3

Proof :

x = 2 / 16

y = 3

Sum of two rational Numbers ;

2 / 16 + 3

3/8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other no. be, x

one no. is 2/16

A. to. Q,

x + 2/16 = 3/8

x/1 + 2/16 = 3/8

now, take L.C.M of 1 and 16 = 16

16x + 2/16 = 3/8

8(16x + 2) = 3(16)

128x + 16 = 48

128x = 48-16

128x = 32

x = 128/32

x = 4

so, the answer is 4
