Question

the product of two factions is 15¾.if one of the fraction is 4½ find the second fraction?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

3$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4$\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{9}{2}$

15$\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{63}{4}$

$\frac{9}{2}$ * x =  $\frac{63}{4}$

x = $\frac{7}{2}$ = 3$\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Given: The product of two factions is$15\frac{3}{4}$ and the one fraction is given as$4\frac{1}{2}$.

We have to find the second fraction.

We are solving in the following way:

Let assume the second fraction will be$x$.

From the given statement we can write:

$=>x\times4\frac{1}{2} =15\frac{3}{4}$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$=>x\times\frac{9}{2} =\frac{63}{4} \\\\=>x=\frac{63}{4}\times\frac{2}{9} \\\\=>x=\frac{7}{2} \\\\=>x=3\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore$ The second fraction is$\frac{7}{2}$.

Hence, the second fraction will be $\frac{7}{2} or 3\frac{1}{2}.$
