Question

by what should be multipluy to -1/8 so that the product may be -23/9

Answer 1

-23/9 ÷ - 1/8
-23/9 * 8/-1
Take the minus above.
So, it will be - 8
-23/9*-8 = 184/9
That is 20 whole 4/9

Answer 2

Let the first number be multiplied by x to get the second number.

Therefore,

$-\frac{1}{8} * x = - \frac{23}{9}$

Using cross multiplication:

x = - \frac{23}{9} [/tex] * $-\frac{8}{1} </p><p>x = \frac{23 * 8}{9}$

x = \frac{184}{9} [/tex]

Hence, -1/8 should be multiplied by 184/9 to get -23/9 .
