Answer:

the other rational number is 2/1.

Explanation:

-2/5 + x = 8/5

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting -2/5 from both sides:

x = 8/5 + 2/5

Simplifying the right side:

x = (8 + 2)/5

x = 10/5

x = 2/1

Therefore, the other rational number is 2/1.
