Question

The sum of two numbers is $\frac{-4}{3}.$ If one of the number is -5. what is the other ?

(a) $\frac{-11}{3}$

(b) $\frac{11}{3}$

(c) $\frac{-19}{3}$

(d) $\frac{19}{3}$

Answer 1

Sum of two numbers = $\frac{-4}{3}$

One number = 5

$\therefore$ Second number = $\frac{-4}{3}-(-5)$

$=\frac{-4}{3}+\frac{5}{1}=\frac{-4+15}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$
