Question

The difference of two rational numbers is -6/25.If greater number is -4/9 what is the smaller number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

Difference of two rational numbers = -6/25

The Greater rational number = -4/9

To find:  The smaller rational number?

Solution:

Let the smaller rational number be x.

And,

Difference of two rational numbers is -4/9 - x.

⠀⠀« Now, Forming an equation,

     → -4/9 - x = -6/25

     → -4/9 + 6/25 = x

     → x = -4 × 25 + 6 × 9/225

     → x = -100 + 54/225

     → x = -46/225

∴ Hence, The smaller rational number is -46/225.
