Answer:
Let us consider one of the number as x
Other number is
5
−14
So,
5
−14
+x=−2
Now solve for x
x=−2−
5
−14
=
1
−2
−
5
−14
By taking LCM of 1 and 5 is 5
5
−10−(−14)
=
5
−10+14
=
5
4
x=
5
4
∴ the other rational number is
5
4
.

Answer:
The answer is –16/15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Sum of two rational numbers is –2/5
One of the number is 2/3
Hence, the other number is calculated as follows:
Other number = –2/5–2/3
Taking L.C.M. we get,
= –6–10/15
= –16/15
Therefore, the other number is –16/15
