Question

The product of two number is 8/15. If one of the following numbers is 24, Find the other

Answer 1

let the 2 numbers be x,y

$x \times y = \frac{8}{15} \\ let \: x = 24 \\ 24y = \frac{8}{15} \\ y = \frac{8}{15} \times \frac{1}{24} \\ y = \frac{2}{15} \times \frac{1}{3} \\ y = \frac{2}{45}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The product of two number is 8/15. If one of the following numbers is 24.

To find :-

Find the other number ?

Solution :-

Let the other number be X

One of the two numbers = 24

Their product = 24×X = 24X

According to the given problem

The product of two numbers = 8/15

=> 24X = 8/15

=> X = (8/15)/24

=> X = 8/(15×24)

=> X = 1/(15×3)

=> X = 1/45

Therefore, X = 1/45

Answer:-

The required other number is 1/45

Check :-

The two numbers are 24 and 1/45

Their product = 24×(1/45)

=> 24/45

=> (3×8)/(3×15)

=> 8/15
