Question

8/5*_=1 please answer my question

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi,

We know that a number and it's multiplicative inverse will multiply to get a product of one. That is the general thumb rule when it comes to learning basic arithmetic concepts.

Now, we have 8/5 at hand.

We can multiply 8/5 by 5/8 (which is the inverse)

Hence , 8/5 x 5/8 (5 and 8 will get cancelled)

We finally get the product as 1.

Or, you can say 40/40 = 1 (by multiplying the values)

Answer 2

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x,

then,

8/5*x= 1

x= 1-8/5

x= -3/5
