7. The sum of two rational numbers is 11/24. If one of them is 3/8, find the other.

Solution:

It is given that

Sum of two rational numbers = 11/24

One of the rational number = 3/8

Other rational number = 11/24 – 3/8

LCM of 24 and 8 is 24

= 11/24 – (3 × 3)/ (8 × 3)

By further calculation

= 1/12

8. The sum of two rational numbers is -7/12. If one of them is 13/24, find the other.

Solution:

It is given that

Sum of two rational numbers = -7/12

One of the rational number = 13/24

Other rational number = -7/12 – 13/24

LCM of 12 and 24 is 24

= (-7 × 2)/ (12 × 2) – 13/24

By further calculation

= -14/24 – 13/24

So we get

= (-14 – 13)/ 24

= -27/24

= -9/8

9. The sum of two rational numbers is -4. If one of them is -13/12, find the other.

Solution:

It is given that

Sum of two rational numbers = -4

One of the rational number = -13/12

Other rational number = – 4 – (-13/12)

LCM of 1 and 12 is 12

= – 4 + 13/12

By further calculation

= (-4 × 12 + 13)/ 12

So we get

= (-48 + 13)/ 12

= -35/12

10. What should be added to -3/16 to get 11/24?

Solution:

Consider x as the required rational number

Other number = -3/16

Sum of two numbers = 11/24

From the question

-3/16 + x = 11/24

By further calculation

x = 11/24 + 3/16

LCM of 16 and 24 is 48

x = (11 × 2)/ (24 × 2) + (3 × 3)/ (16 × 3)

So we get

x = 22/48 + 9/48

x = (22 + 9)/ 48 = 31/48

11. What should be added to -3/5 to get 2?

Solution:

Consider x as the required rational number

Other number = -3/5

Here the sum of two numbers is 2

From the question

-3/5 + x = 2

By further calculation

x = 2 + 3/5

LCM of 1 and 5 is 5

x = (2 × 5 + 3)/ 5

So we get

= (10 + 3)/ 5

= 13/5

= 2 3/5

12. What should be subtracted from -4/5 to get 1?

Solution:

Consider x as the required rational number

Other number = -4/5

Here the difference between two numbers is 1

From the question

-4/5 – x = 1

By further calculation

-4/5 – 1 = x

So we get

x = (-4 – 1 × 5)/ 5

x = (-4 – 5)/ 5 = -9/5

13. The sum of two numbers is -6/5. If one of them is -2, find the other.

Solution:

It is given that

Sum of two numbers = -6/5

One of the numbers = -2

Other number = -6/5 – (-2/1)

LCM of 1 and 5 is 5

= – 6/5 – (2 × 5)/ (1 × 5)

By further calculation

= (-6 + 10)/ 5

= 4/5

14. What should be added to -7/12 to get 3/8?

Solution:

Consider x as the required rational number

Other rational number = -7/12

Sum of two numbers = 3/8

Using the question

-7/12 + x = 3/8

So we get

x = 3/8 – (-7/12)

LCM of 8 and 12 is 24

x = (3 × 3)/ (8 × 3) + (7 × 2)/ (12 × 2)

By further calculation

= 9/24 + 14/24

So we get

= (9 + 14)/ 24 = 23/34

15. What should be subtracted from 5/9 to get 9/5?

Solution:

Consider x as the first number

Other number is 5/9

Here the difference between two numbers is 9/5

Using the question

5/9 – x = 9/5

So we get

x = 5/9 – 9/5

LCM of 9 and 5 is 45

x = (5 × 5)/ (9 × 5) – (9 × 9)/ (5 × 9)

By further calculation

x = 25/45 – 81/45

x = (25 – 81)/ 45 = – 56/45
