Question

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

Answer 1

let the other number be n
-15/14 × n=-16/35
n=-16/35×-14/15. (14 and 35 cut by 7)
n=32/75

Answer 2

The other number is 32/75.

Given:

The product of two numbers = (-16 / 35)

One of the numbers = (-15/14)

To Find:

The other number.

Solution:

We have been given that product of two numbers = (-16 / 35)

One of the numbers = (-15 / 14)

Let us assume that the other number is 'a'.

According to our given condition,

( -15/14 ) x a = (-16 / 35)

⇒ a = (-16 / 35) / ( -15/14 )

⇒ a = (- 16 x 14) / (35 x -15)

⇒ a = 224/525 = 32/75

∴ The other number is 32/75.
