Let us note down the given details

Sum of two numbers = 5/9

One of the number = 1/3

By using the formula,

Other number = sum of number – given number

= 5/9 – 1/3

By taking LCM for 9 and 3 which is 9

5/9 – 1/3 = (5×1 – 1×3)/9

= (5 – 3)/9

= 2/9

∴ the other number is 2/9

Answer 2

Answer:

let other number be x

x + 1/3 = 5/9

x = 5/9 - 1/3

x = 2/9 is your ans
