Question

The sum of two rational numbers is 2/9 if one of them is 1/3 , then find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3+ x= 2/9

or, x= 2/9 - 1/3

or, x= 2-3/9

or, x= -1/9

Answer 2

Answer :

The sum if two rational numbers is 2/9 if one of them is 1/3 we have to find the other .

Let the second rational number be x .

• $\sf\implies\::\dfrac{1}{3}\:+\:x\:=\:\dfrac{2}{9}$

• $\sf\implies\::\:x\:=\:\dfrac{2}{9}\:-\:\dfrac{1}{3}$

• Take the lcm that is 9

• $\sf\implies\::\:x\:=\:\dfrac{2\:-\:3}{9}$

• $\sf\implies\:x\:=\:\dfrac{-\:1}{9}$

Therefore the second rational number is -1/9
