Question

The sum of two rational numbers is 17/25.If one number is3/5 find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2/25

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the other number

A.T.Q.

x + 3/5 = 17/25

x = 17/25 - 3/5

x= (17-15)/25

x= 2/25

Answer 2

$\large\bf\underline\red{Answer \: :-}$

Let the 2nd rational number be x.

Now,

$\sf\longrightarrow{ \frac{3}{5} + x = \frac{17}{25} } \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow{x = \frac{17}{25} - \frac{3}{5} } \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow{x = \frac{(17 \times 5) - (25 \times 3)}{25 \times 5} } \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow{ x = \frac{85 - 75}{125} } \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow{x = \frac{10}{125} } \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow{x = \frac{ \cancel{10}}{ \cancel{125}} } \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow{ \boxed{ \bf \red{x = \frac{2}{25} }}}$

The 2nd rational number is 2/25.
