1.	The sum of the two rational number is -4/3. if one of the numbers is -5 find the other
Answer» Answer: 11/3 Step-by-step explanation: Let the required number be x. Then, =(−5/1)+x=(−4/3) By SENDING (−5/1) from LEFT HAND SIDE to the right hand side it change to −(5/1) x=(−4/3)−(−5/1) LCM of 3 and 1 is 3 Express each of the GIVEN rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator. Now, (3×1) (−4×1) = 3 −4 = (1×3) (−5×3) = 3 −15 Then, =(−4/3)−(−15/3) =(−4+15)/3 =11/3 Hence the required number is (11/3)

Answer:

11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x. Then,

=(−5/1)+x=(−4/3)

By SENDING (−5/1) from LEFT HAND SIDE to the right hand side it change to −(5/1)

x=(−4/3)−(−5/1)

LCM of 3 and 1 is 3

Express each of the GIVEN rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

(3×1)

(−4×1)

−4

(1×3)

(−5×3)

−15

Then,

=(−4/3)−(−15/3)

=(−4+15)/3

=11/3

Hence the required number is (11/3)
