x = -45

hence required number is -45.

Answer 2

Question:-

By what number should we multiply −8/15 , so that the product may be 24.

Answer:-

• The second number is -45.

Solution:-

• One number = -8/15
• Product = 24
• Second number = x

$\large{ : \implies \: \frac{ - 8}{15} \times x = 24}$

$\large{ : \implies \: - 8 \times x = 24 \times 15}$

$\large{ : \implies \: x = \frac{24 \times 15}{ - 8} }$

$\large{ : \implies \: x = - 3 \times 15}$

$\large{ : \implies \: x = - 45}$

• The second number is -45.
