The product of two number is 3/4. If one of the number is -5/7 find the other

Answer 1

Answer

21/20 or 1 integer 1/20

Explaination

Let the other number be x

Therefore, x × -5/7=3/4

x=3/4 divided by -5/7

x= 3/4 × -7/5

(according to the rational numbers' property - never stays in the denominator so the -'s - has been placed upwards)

x=-21/20

OR

x=-1 integer 1/20
