Question

The product of two numbers is
2 4/5 if one of the numbers is
1 1/6 then find the other one.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second number be x.

∴1 1/6 * x = 2 4/5

$1\frac{1}{6} * x = 2\frac{4}{5} \\\\\frac{7}{6} x = \frac{14}{5} \\\\x = \frac{14}{5} * \frac{6}{7} \\\\x = \frac{12}{5} \\\\x = 2\frac{2}{5}$

Hence, the second number is 2 2/5

Checking:

1 1/6 * 2 2/5

= 7/6 * 12/5

= 14/5

= 2 4/5

Hence the answer is correct.
