Answer 1

Hi friend, Harish here.

Here is your answer:

Let the number be ' x '.

Then,

$6 + \frac{1x}{4} = \frac{2}{5}$

⇒  $\frac{1x}{4} = \frac{2}{5} - 6 = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{30}{5} = \frac{-28}{5}$

Now cross multiple, Then,

$x = \frac{-28}{5} \times 4 = \frac{-112}{5}$

Therefore the number is -112/5.
