Answer 1

Answer:

17/6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the second no. be x

sum of no.s=5

first no.=13/6

second no.=x

according to question

13/6+x=5

x=5-13/6 (13/6 was positive on the left hand side so when transferred to right hand side it changes into -13/6)

x=17/6

so second no.=17/6

check:

13/6+17/6=30/6 (30/6 converted into 5 by changing 30/6 into smallest form)

              =5
