Question

The sum of two rational numbers is2/3. If one number is, 1/6find the other.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown rational number be x

Other = 1/6

Sum = 2/3

Therefore,

x + 1/6 = 2/3

x = 2/3 - 1/6

x = (2*6 - 1*3)/3*6

x = 12- 3/ 18

x = 9/18

x= 1/2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown no be X.

1/6 + x = 2/3

x = 2/3 - 1/6

x = (4-1)/6

x = 3/6

x = 1/2
