Answer 2

Answer:

The value of Other rational number is -43/6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

The sum of two rational numbers is - 8 .

One of the number is -5/6

To find -

Other rational number

Solution -

Let, Other rational number  is x .

We can given information as,

Sum of two rational no.is -8 .

$x+ \frac{(-5)}{6} = -8$

$x- \frac{5}{6} = -8$

$x= -8+\frac{5}{6}$

For subtraction of rational number both the denominator should be same.

Multiply 8 by 6/6 we get,

$x= -\frac{48}{6} +\frac{5}{6}$

$x=\frac{-48+5}{6}$

$x=\frac{-43}{6}$

∴ The value of Other rational number is -43/6 .
