Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -15/16 if one number is 5/-4 find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

sum of two no.s = -15/4

one no = -5/4

let the other no. be x . Then,

5/-4 * x= -15/4

x= 3 (ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

Sum of two numbers = - 15/16

One number = - 5/4

Let 'x' be another number

==> x - 5/4 = - 15/16

x = - 15/16 + 5/4

LCM of 16,4 =16

x = ( - 15 + (5*4))/16

x = ( - 15 + 20) / 16

x = 5/16

Hence, the other number is 5/16
