Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

49/30 is the second number

Answer 2

Answer: we get the solution k=12/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The product of two numbers is 2 4/5 . If one of the numbers is 1 1/6 , We have to find the other.​

Let the second number be 'k'

k+$1\frac{1}{6}$=$2\frac{4}{5}$

Convert this mixed fraction into normal fraction

$1\frac{1}{6}$=(1 x 6 +1)/6

=(6+1)/6

=7/6

$2\frac{4}{5}$=(2 x 5 +4)/5

=(10+4)/5

=14/5

k+7/6= 14/5

k= 14/5 -7/6

Take the reciprocal

14 * 6/ 7 * 5

k=84/ 35

k=12/7

Hence, we get the solution k=12/7

or k=2$\frac{2}{5}$

Checking

12/7 x 7/6=14/5
