Question

The product of two number is 14/15 , if one of the number is -20/17 and then find the other

Answer 1

firstly, let the other no. be -x

now , x+ (-20/17)=14/15

X=14/15 + 20/17

Take the lcm of both denominators

lcm is 255

x=238+300=538

The value of x is 538

Answer 2

Answer:

$\dfrac{ - 119}{150}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• Product of two numbers = 14/15

• One of the number involved in the product = -20/17

To find :

• The other number for which product will be 14/15 and one of the number is -20/17

According to the question,

X × -20/17 = 14/15

Bringing it to the other side :

X = 14/15 × -17/20

X = -238/300

Simplifying :

-238/300 = -119/150

The value of the other number in simplified form is equal to - 119/150

So this is how we find the answers in the given case
