Question

the sum of two rational number is 5/18. if one of the number is 1/8 ,find the other

Answer 1

Let the number be x

ATQ,

x + $\frac{1}{8}$ = $\frac{5}{18}$

x = $\frac{5}{18}$ - $\frac{1}{8}$

x = $\frac{(20-9)}{72}$

x = $\frac{11}{72}$

Answer 2

✨hey mate! here's your answer!✨

since, one of the number = 1/8

so, let the other number be 'x'.

then, according to the question,

$\frac{1}{8} + x = \frac{5}{18}$

$= >x = \frac{5}{18} - \frac{1}{8}$

$= > x = \frac{20 - 9}{72} \: \: \: (taking \: 72 \: as \: lcm)$

$= > x = \frac{11}{72}$

thus, other number = 11/72.

✌️ hope it is helpful ✌️!
