Question

By what number should we mutiply 3/-14 so that the product may be 5/12​

Answer 1

Let the unknown value be x.

So, x × 3/-14 = 5/12

-3x/14 = 5/12

-3x = (5/12)×14

-3x = 70/12

-x = 70/12/3

-x = 70×3/12

-x = 210/12

-x = 105/6

Thus, we have to multiply 105/6 with 3/-14 so that the product will be 5/12.
