Answer 1

★ Given :

$product \:of \: two \:numbers = \frac{8}{17} \\ \\ \\ one \:number = \frac{-16}{34}$

★To find :

the other number

★ SoluTion :

$let \:the \:unknown \:number \:be \: x \\ \\ \\ \frac{8}{17} = \frac{-16}{34} \times x \\ \\ \ x = \frac{8}{17} \div \frac{-16}{34} \\ \\ \\ = \frac{\cancel{8}}{\cancel{17}} \times \frac{\cancel{34}}{\cancel{-16}} \\ \\ \\ = \frac{ \cancel{2}}{\cancel{-2}} \\ \\ \\ x = -1$
