number by 2/3 by mistake he multiplied the rational number by 2/9.

To find:

The rational number

Solution:

1) Let the rational number be x.

2) Then according to the question then

we get,

• 2/3x = 2/9x + (-16/5)

• 2/3x = 2/9x - 16/5

• 16/5 = 2/9x - 2/3x

• 16/5 = (2-6)/9x

• 16/5 = -4/9x

• x= -36/5

The assumed rational number is -36/5 that is -7.2
