​

Answer 1

Answer

1.

$product = 25 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{(6 \times 25) + 5}{6} = \frac{155}{6}$

$one \: factor = 6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{(3 \times 6) + 2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}$

$let \: other \: factor \:be \: x$

$x \times \frac{20}{3} = \frac{155}{6}$

$x = \frac{ \frac{155}{6} }{ \frac{20}{3} }$

$x = \frac{155}{20} \times \frac{3}{6}$

$x = \frac{155}{20} \times \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 4 \frac{35}{40}$
