Question

The sum of two rational numbers is 31/24. If one number is 7/8, find the other number

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

☞ Sum of two numbers = 31 / 24

๛ One number = 7 / 8

☆ Let the other number be x.

So according to the question :

$x + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{31}{24} \\ \\ = > \frac{8x + 7}{8} = \frac{31}{24} \\ \\ = > 24(8x + 7) = 31 \times 8 \\ \\ = > 192x + 168 = 248 \\ \\ = > 192x = 248 - 168 \\ \\ = > 192x = 80 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{80}{192}$

So 7 / 8 should be added with 80 / 192 to get 31 / 24 .
