Answer 1

Given: Two numbers -8/39 and 5/26

To find: By what rational number should -8/39 be multiply to obtain 5/26.

Solution:

• Let the number to be multiplied be a, then:

                 -8/39 x a = 5/26

• Cross multiplying, we get:

                 a = 5/26 x -39/8

• Now solving further, we get:

                 a = 5 x -39 / 26 x 8

                 a = -195 / 208

Answer:

              So the number that should be multiplied is -195 / 208.
