Question

The product of two rational numbers is 15/56. If one of the numbers is −5/48, find the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$product \: of \: two \: numbers \: are \: \frac{15}{56} \\ \\ one \: number = \frac{ - 5}{48} \\ \\ let \: the \: other \: number \: be \: x \\ \\ \frac{ - 5}{48} \times x = \frac{15}{56} \\ \\ x = \frac{15}{56} \div \frac{ - 5}{48} \\ \\ x = \frac{15}{56} \times \frac{48}{ - 5} \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 3 \times 6}{7} = \frac{ - 18}{7}$
