Question

The sum of two rational numbers is -1/2. If one of the numbers is 5/6, find the other.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the misssing number be 'x'

x+ 5/6 = - 1/2

x = -1/2 -5/6

x = -3/6 - 5/6

x = - 8/6

Answer 2

Given

⇒Sum of two rational is -1/2

⇒one number is 5/6

⇒To find the other number

⇒Now let the second number be x

Sum of two number is -1/2 and if one of the number is 5/6 , we get

⇒x + 5/6 = -1/2

⇒x = -1/2 + (-5/6)

By taking LCM we get

⇒x = (-1×3)/(2×3) - 5/6

⇒x = -3/6 - 5/6

⇒x =  -8/6 = -4/3

Answer

⇒the other number is -4/3
