Question

the sum of two numbers is 7/20, if one of them is 1/4,find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

the value of another number is 1/10

Answer 2

Answer:

The required number = $\frac{1}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two numbers = $\frac{7}{20}$

One number is $\frac{1}{4}$

To find,

The second number

Solution:

Let the second number be 'x'

Since some of the two numbers = $\frac{7}{20}$,

We have x +  $\frac{1}{4}$ =  $\frac{7}{20}$

Subtracting   $\frac{1}{4}$ on both sides

x +  $\frac{1}{4}$  -   $\frac{1}{4}$  =  $\frac{7}{20}$ -   $\frac{1}{4}$

LCM (20,4) = 20

 $\frac{7}{20}$ -   $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{7 - 5}{20}$

= $\frac{2}{20}$

= $\frac{1}{10}$

∴ The required number = $\frac{1}{10}$
