Question

By what number should -33/16 be divided to get -22/8

Answer 1

Answer:

The divisor is $x=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : By what number should $-\frac{33}{16}$ be divided to get $-\frac{22}{8}$

Solution :

Let the divisor be x

Now, we are supposed to find by what number should be $-\frac{33}{16}$ divided to get $-\frac{22}{8}$

So, $\frac{-\frac{33}{16}}{x}=-\frac{22}{8}$

Cross multiply,

$\frac{-\frac{33}{16}}{-\frac{22}{8}}=x$

$x=\frac{33\times 8}{16\times22}$

$x=\frac{3\times 1}{2\times2}$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

So, The divisor is $x=\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$Required \: number =\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \: \frac{-33}{16} \: is\\ \: divided \: with\: the \: number \: x \\\: to \: get \: \frac{-22}{8}$

$\implies \frac{\frac{-33}{16}}{x}=\frac{-22}{8}$

$\implies \frac{-33}{16}\times \frac{-8}{22}=x$

After cancellation,we get

$\implies \frac{3}{4}=x$

Therefore,

$Required \: number =\frac{3}{4}$
