Question

the sum of two numbers is 5/8. if one of them is 3/4. find the other.​

Answer 1

hi there!!!

Solution:

here,

let the other number be x

now,

3/4+x= 5/8

x= 5/8-3/4

x= 5/8- 6/8......( multiplying second fraction by 2 to make denominators equal)

x= 5-6/8

x=-1/8

hence,

the other number = -1/8

Answer 2

Let the other number be x

Sum of two numbers = 5/8

1st number = 3/4

According to question

5/8 = 3/4+x

x = 5/8 - 3/4

x= 5-6/8

x = -1/8

2nd number = -1/8
