-
find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: LET THE OTHER RATIONAL NUMBER BE X

THEN WE GET THE FOLLOWING EQUATION-

X + 5/8 = 8

= X= 8- 5/8

LCM OF 8 AND 1 IS 8

X= 64-5/8

X=59/8

Answer 2

The other rational number is 69/8.

Given:

One number= -5/8

Sum=8

To find:

The other number

Solution:

Let the other number be X.

We know that the sum of the two numbers is 8.

Using values,

The sum=X+ (-5/8)

=X-5/8

Now, we will equate the value of the sum.

X-5/8=8

X=8+5/8

X=(8×8+5)/8

X=(64+5)/8

X=69/8

Therefore, the other rational number is 69/8.
