By definition, a rational number is:

It is any number that can be represented as the quotient of two whole numbers or, more precisely, an integer and a positive natural.

We have many numbers that added to 1/5 result in a rational number.

For example, we have:


(6)/(5) +(1)/(5) = (6+1)/(5) = (7)/(5) = 1.4

1.4 is a rational number

Answer:

A number produces a rational number when added to 1/5 is:


(6)/(5)
