Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Product= -8

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given,

x= -12

x*y= -8

-12*y= -8

y= -8/-12

y= 8/12

y= 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

8/12 (or 2/3)

Explanation:

Product of two numbers = -8

One number = -12

Let the other number be x.

According to Question,

-12 × x = -8

=> x = -8 ÷ (-12)

=> x = 8/12

Hence, the other number is 8/12 (or 2/3).
