Question

The product of two rational number is -9. If one of the number is -24, then the other is *

8/3
3/8
-8/3
-3/8

Answer 1

Let us assume that ,

The other number be " x "

$\bold{According \: to \: the \: question \: ,}$

The product of two rational number is -9 and one of the number is -24

Thus ,

$\sf \implies - 24x = - 9 \\ \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{ - 9}{ - 24} \\ \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{3}{8}$

$\therefore \bold{ \underline{ \sf{The \: other \: number \: is \: \frac{3}{8} }}}$
