Answer 1

Answer:

sum of two rational number = 8

let the number be x

then other number be x-5\6

= x + [x-5\6] = 8

=x = 29

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the rational No. be x and y.

According to condition (1)

x+y=8

According to condition (2)

5/6 +y=8

OR

x+5/6=8

THEREFORE

x or y=43/6

x+y=8

43/6+y=8

THEREFORE OTHER NO. IS=1/3

(BOTH NO. ARE 1/3 AND 5/6)
