Question

The sum of two rational number is 2/3 .If one number is 1/6 find the other number​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 is the other number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

x + 2/3 = 1/6

x = 1/6 - 2/3

To convert them to the same denominator, we have:

1/6 x 3/3 = 3/18

and

2/3 x 6/6 = 12/18

Now, The equation becomes:

x = 12/18 - 3/18

x = 9/18 or 1/2 (in lowest form)

Answer: 1/2

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Let the other rational number be x,
Then, According to the question,

• 1/6 + x = 2/3
=> x = 2/3 - 1/6
=> x = (2*2) - 1 / 6
( LCM of the denominator 3, 6 is 6 )
=> x = 4-1/6
=> x = 3/6 ( ANSWER )

VERIFICATION :

If the other number = 3/6
Then, According to the question,

• 1/6 + 3/6 = 2/3
=> 4/6 = 2/3
=> 2/3 = 2/3

Hence, Verified !
