Question

The product of two fractional numbers is 1 3/4
. If one of them is

1/12 find the other
number.

Answer 1

Answer:

I think 39 is the correct answer

Answer 2

first we should turn the mixed fraction into improper fraction so 1 3/4 = 7/4

one of the numbers is 1/12

let the other number be x

1/12 * x = 7/4

1x/12 = 7/4

1x = 7/4 * 12

x = 84/4

x = 21

if you want to check then :

1/12 * 21

=21/12 (you can simplify)

=7/4
