Question

the product of two nos. is13 1/2...if one of them is 4 3/5..find the other

Answer 1

4 3/5 into improper fraction

=23/5

13 1/2 into improper fraction

=27/2

so

let the other number be x

x X 23/5=27/2

x=27/2 divided by 23/5

so we have to do reciprocal and multiply

=x=27/2 x 5/23

=135/46

Answer 2

The product of two nos. is 13 1/2

one of them is 4 3/5

let the nos be X

∴4 3/5 × X= 13 1/2

∴ X= 13 1/2 ×5 /43

∴X= 655÷86

⇒X=665/86 or 7.616  ANS
