Solution :-

Let us note down the given details

Sum of two numbers = \( \dfrac{-1}{3}\)

One of the number = \( \dfrac{-12}{3}\)

By using the formula,

Other number = sum of number – given number

\( \dfrac{-1}{3}- \dfrac{-12}{3}\)

Since the denominators are same we can subtract directly

= \(\dfrac{ (-1+12)}{3} = \dfrac{11}{3}\)

the other number is \( \dfrac{11}{3}\)
