Question

The sum of two rational number s is -2/9 if one number is 5/4 find the other

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that one number is 5/4, then let the second number be x.

$x + ( \frac{5}{4} ) = - \frac{2}{9}$

$x = - \frac{5}{4} - \frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{ -45 - 8 }{36}$

$\frac{ - 53}{36}$

$- 1\ \frac{17}{36}$

The other number is -1 17/36.

Hence solved ✅✅✅

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we will consume second no. as x.

5/4 + x = -2/9

5/4 + (-2/9) = x

L.C.M. = 4 and 9 lcm is 36 so,

45+(-8)/36

45+(-8)=45-8=37 so, ans = 37/36

= 1 whole number and 1/36
