Question

By what rational number should we multiply 2/9 so that the product is -8/7

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rational number be ‘x’.

According to the given condition,

5/12 * x = -2/9 ———————————-1st equation

So, the value of x will be

x = -2/9 / 5/12

x = -2/9 * 12/5

Therefore,

x = -8/15

You can verify this value by substituting it in the 1st equation.

5/12 * -8/15 = -2/9

Hence, the rational number which should be multiplied by 5/12 so thatbthe product is -2/9 is -8/15..
