Answer:

-39/2=-19.5

Step-by-step explanation

let the number be 'x'

-16x/13=24

multiply 13 to both sides
-16x=24*13

-2*8*x=-3*8*13

divide both sides by 8

-2x=3*13

-2x=39
divide both sides by 2

-x=39/2

multiply both sides by -1

x=-39/2=-19.5

SO THE REQUIRED NO. IS -39/2=-19.5

hope it helped, if yes mark as brainliest

Answer:

To find the number by which "-16/13" should be multiplied to get a product of 24, we can set up an equation.

Let's represent the number we're looking for as "x". We can then write the equation as:

(-16/13) * x = 24

To solve for "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (-16/13), which is (-13/16). This gives us:

((-16/13) * x) * (-13/16) = 24 * (-13/16)

Simplifying, we have:

x = (24 * -13) / 16

Evaluating the right-hand side of the equation gives us:

x = -312 / 16

Simplifying this fraction, we get:

x = -39/2

Therefore, "-16/13" should be multiplied by "-39/2" in order to get a product of 24.
