Question

the product of two number is -16/35. if one of the number is -15/14, find the other number

Answer 1

HI !!

Product  = -16/35

One no: = -15/ 14

Unknown no: = x

-15/14 x = -16/35

x = -16/35  ×  -14 / 15
   = 224 / 525
   =32/75

Answer 2

Given that -15/14 x = -16/35

x is the required value to b found.

Thus transpose the equation such that:

x=-16/35 /-15/14

=-16/35 * Reciprocal of -15/14

=-16/35 * -14/15

=-16*-14/35*15

=224/525

=0.627
