Answer 2

Given that By what rational number should -8/39 be multiplied to obtain 1/26.

Let the number be x.

$- \frac{8}{39} x = \frac{1}{26}$

$-8x = \frac{39}{26}$

$-8x = \frac{3}{2}$

$-16x = 3$

$x = - \frac{3}{16}$


Therefore the rational number is -3/16.


Verification:

$- \frac{8}{39} * -( \frac{3}{16}) = \frac{1}{26}$

$\frac{8 * 3}{39 * 16} = \frac{1}{26}$

$\frac{24}{624} = \frac{1}{26}$

$\frac{1}{26} = \frac{1}{26}$


Hope this helps!
