Question

The sum of the two number is5/9. If one of the number is1/3, find the other.

Answer 1

Given sum of two numbers is (5/9)

And one themis (1/3) Let the unknown number be x x + (1/3) = (5/9) x = (5/9) – (1/3) LCM of 3 and 9 is 9 Consider (1/3) = (1/3) × (3/3) = (3/9) On substituting we get x = (5/9) – (3/9) x = (5 – 3)/9 x = (2/9)

Answer 2

Answer:

the equation is

1/3 + x = 5/9

= x=5/9-1/3

= 2/9
