Let x be the larger number
\n" ); document.write( "Then x-\"3%2F8\" be the smaller number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+x-\"3%2F8\"=1
\n" ); document.write( "2x=\"11%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "x=\"11%2F16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The smaller number
\n" ); document.write( "=\"11%2F16-6%2F16\"
\n" ); document.write( "=\"5%2F16\"
