Question

The sum of two rational numbers is - 4/1. If one of them is - 3/5 , find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

-17/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two rational numbers is -4

One of the number is −3/5

Hence, the other number is calculated as follows:

Other number = -4-(-3/5)

= -4+3/5

Taking L.C.M. we get,

=(-20+3)/5

= -17/5

Therefore, the other number is -17/5.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

? + (-3/5)= -4/1

?-3/5= -4/1

transfer -3/5 other side so it is subtract other side

?=-4/1-(-3/5)

?=-4/1+3/5

take lcm

?= -20+3/5

?= -17/5

so the second number is -17/5
