1. Given:

   • Difference of two rational numbers = -6/25
   • The Greater rational number = -4/9

   To find:

   • The smaller rational number?

   Solution:

   Let the smaller rational number be x.

   And,

   • Difference of two rational numbers is -4/9 – x.

   ⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

   « Now, Forming an equation,

   → -4/9 – x = -6/25

   → -4/9 + 6/25 = x

   → x = -4 × 25 + 6 × 9/225

   → x = -100 + 54/225

   → x = -46/225

   ∴ Hence, The smaller rational number is -46/225.
