Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -3/8. If one of them is 3/16 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is not a problem

Just subract the given one from the sum

I.e. 5/18 - 1/8

Lcm of dinominators is 2×3x3x2x2 = 72

5/18 = 20/72

1/8 = 9/ 72

5/18 - 1/8 = 20/72 - 9/72 = 11/72

Ans = 11/72

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

X+ Y = - 3 / 8

then one is 3/ 16

let x = 3/16 then ,

3/16 +Y = - 3/8

Y = -3/8 - 3/16

Y = - 9 /16
