Answer 1

Heya !!!


Let the Rational Number be X.




★ Product of rational Number and 5/2



=> 5/2 × X



=> 5X/2



According to question,



5X/2 + 2/3 = -7/12





15X + 4/6 = -7/12




12 ( 15X + 4) = -7 × 6




180X + 48 = -42


180X = -42-48



180X = -90




X = -90/180


X = -1/2



Hence,

-1/2 is the required Number.
