Question

By what number should we multiply -8/15 to get the product 24?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. to be multiplied be x.

So, -8/15 * x = 24

or, -8x = 24 * 15

or, x = 24 *15/-8

(-8 and 24 can be divided to give -3)

so, x = -3*15

or, x= -45

therefore -45 is to be multiplied to -8/25 in order to get a product of 24.

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Given:

1st value for multiplication (multiplicand) = $\frac{-8}{15}$

Product of two numbers = 24

To find:

2nd value of multiplication (multiplier) to get product 24 =?

Solution:

To find the second value of multiplication or the multiplier to which the given first value is to be multiplied to get the product use the following steps:

=> Let "X" be the second value for multiplication.

=> Multiplication Product = Multiplicand × Multiplier

=> 24 (Product) = $\frac{-8}{15}$ (Multiplicand)× X (Multiplier)

=> X (Multiplier) = 24 ×$\frac{-15}{8}$

=> X (Multiplier) = 3 × (-15)

=> X (Multiplier) = -45

=> On multiplying -45 with $\frac{-8}{15}$ we get the product 24.

Hence, -45 is the multiplier or the second value for multiplication to get the result given in the question.
