Question

5. By what rational number should -8
13 be multiple to get -16
39​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number multiplied be \( x\)

\( \therefore \frac{-12}{52}\times \left(x\right)=39\)

\( \therefore\;x=39\times \left(\frac{-52}{12}\right)=\frac{13}{4}\times \left(-52\right)\)

\( x=13\times \left(-13\right)=-169\)

Hence \( -169\) should be multiplied to obtain \( 39\).
