Question

The difference between 2 rational number is 5/6,if one of them is 1/7 find the other

Answer 1

Given: The difference between two rational numbers is $5/6$and one of them is $1/7.$

We have to find the other rational number.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The difference between two rational numbers is $5/6$and one of them is $1/7.$

Let assume the other number will be$x$.

Then from the given statement, we can write:

$=>\frac{1}{7} -x=\frac{5}{6}$

Solving the above data further we get,

$=>-x=\frac{5}{6} -\frac{1}{7} \\\\=>-x=\frac{5\times7-1\times6}{6\times7} \\\\=>-x=\frac{35-6}{42} \\\\=>-x=\frac{29}{42} \\\\=>x=-\frac{29}{42}$

Hence, the other number will be$-\frac{29}{42}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer of this question is -29/42
