Answer-The other number is \frac{5}{24}

Explanation-

Given-Product of two rational numbers is \frac{-15}{28}.

One number is  \frac{-18}{7}

Find the other number.

Solution-In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. For example, -3/7 is a rational number, as is every integer.

Let the other number be x

According to the question

\frac{-18}{7}\times x=\frac{-15}{28}

x=\frac{-15}{28}\times \frac{-7}{18}

x=\frac{5}{24}

Hence, the other number is \frac{5}{24}
