Question

the sum of two rational numbers is -5/8 .if one of them is -2/3 ,
find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

given:

sum of the rational numbers = -5/8

one of the numbers = -2/3

let the other number be 'x'

So, x+(-2/3)=-5/8

x-2/3=-5/8

x=-5/8+2/3

x=-15/24+16/24   (The LCM of 8&3=8*3=24)

x=1/24

Therefore , the other number is 1/24

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume a no.

A+B=-5/8

According to question

One no.is-2/3

Here A =-2/3

Know,

(-2/3)+B=(-5/8)

B=(-5/8)+(2/3)

Make denominator same

B=(-5/8)×(3/3)+(2/3)×(8/8)

B=(-15/24)+(16/24)

B=1/24

Let verify

-2/3+1/24

Make same denominator

(-2/3)×(8/8)+(1/24)

(-16 /24)+(1/24)=(-15/24)

(-15/24)=(-5/8)

Ur answer 8s also verified know

Hence the no.is 1/24

I Hope u can understand and also helpful to you
