Question

product of two numbers is -1/6 and one of the numbers is -5/8 find the other

Answer 1

Let other number be K,


Given, Product = - 1 / 2



According to the question,



$K \times \frac{ - 5}{8} = - \frac{1}{6} \\ \\ \\ = > K = - \frac{1}{6} \times ( - \frac{8}{5} ) \\ \\ \\ = > K = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{8}{5} \\ \\ \\ => K = \frac{4}{15}$




Other number = 4 / 15

Answer 2

let the two number a and b
ab=-1/6
given
a=-5/8
-5/8x b =-1/6
b=4/15
