-10/9×27/-5=x

2×3=x

6=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The other number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that : Product of 2 numbers is $\frac{-10}{9}$

And one of the numbers is $\frac{-5}{27}$

Let the other number be x

⇒ x × $\frac{-5}{27}$ = $\frac{-10}{9}$

⇒ x = $\frac{-10}{9}$ × $\frac{-27}{5}$

⇒ x = 6

Verification :

Multiply 6 with $\frac{-5}{27}$

if u cancel by 3, 6 becomes 2 and 27 becomes 9

then multiply -5 with 2... what do you get ?

Well, that is $\frac{-10}{9}$

Hence our answer is correct
