Question

The product of two rational numbers is−12/40. If one number is−5/8 find the other number?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{48}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second rational number be $x$

$\frac{-5}{8}$ × $x$ = $\frac{-12}{40}$

$x$ = $\frac{-12}{40}$ × $\frac{-8}{5}$

$x$ = $\frac{96}{250}$

$x = \frac{48}{125}$
