<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a =
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26

b = 22</span>

The rational number is equivalent to 0.36 is 9/25

<h3>How to determine the equivalent rational number?</h3>

From the question, we have the following decimal number that can be used in our computation:

Decimal number = 0.36

To start with, we need to express the decimal number as a fraction

This is represented as follows:

So, we have the following representation

Decimal number = 36/100

Change the label of the above representation to rational number

Rational number = 36/100

Simplify the rational number (divide the numerator and the denominator by 2)

Rational number = 18/50

Simplify the rational number (divide the numerator and the denominator by 2)

Rational number = 9/25

Hence, the equivalent rational number is 9/25
