2. Answer:

   Sum of two numbers=5

   1st Number=3 and 3/4 = 15/4

   Other Number= 5 – 15/4

   Step by Step:-

   (1) As we know 5=5/1

   (2) To subtract 15/4 from 5 we need to first find the HCF of denominators 1 and 4.

   HCF= 4

   We can write 5/1=20/4

   Other Number= 20/4 – 15/4 = 5/4

   Hence other number is 5/4

   Confirmation:-

   5/4+3 and 3/4

   5/4+15/4=20/4

   20/4=5

   HOPE THIS HELPFUL.
