Question

If the product of two fraction is 3/8 and one of the fraction is 1/2 what is the other fraction

please tell it step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

the other fraction is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8=1/2 * X

x=3/8 * 2

x=3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

alright, this one can be solved using "assign a variable method"

now,in the question,what we are asked to find out,or in other words, what we do not know is the other fraction that will give the product as 3/8

(im going slow since you asked for step by step explanation, hope you dont mind :)

now lets take that other fraction as 'X'

alright so now we know that X and 1/2 when multiplied gives product as 3/8

so lets write that in the form of an equation

X * 1/2 = 3/8

so now to get the value of X we just have to shift 1/2 to the RHS of the equation,then the numerator of 1/2 i.e 1 will now be the denominator

so,  X=3/8 *2/1    now cancell out commoon factors between 8 and 2

i.e X= 3/4

so the other fraction is 3/4

hope it helps.........
