Answer 2

Given,

Product of two numbers is $\dfrac{14}{15}$.

One of the number is $\dfrac{-20}{17}$.

Other number = ?.

                                                                           

Let the other number be $x$.

According to question.

$x\times\dfrac{-20}{17}=\dfrac{14}{15}\\\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{14}{15}\div-\dfrac{20}{17}\\\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{14}{15}\times-\dfrac{17}{20}\\\\\\\implies x=\boxed{\bold{\dfrac{-119}{150}}}$

                                                                   

Let us verify that -

We have to put the value $-\dfrac{119}{150}$ at the place

of 'x'. Then we obtain :-

$\implies-\dfrac{119}{150}\times-\dfrac{20}{17}=\dfrac{14}{15}\\\\\\\implies-\dfrac{119}{15}\times-\dfrac{2}{17}=\dfrac{14}{15}\\\\\\\implies-\dfrac{7}{15}\times-\dfrac{2}{1}=\dfrac{14}{15}\\\\\\\implies\dfrac{14}{15}=\dfrac{14}{15}$

Here LHS = RHS

Hence it is verified
