Question

The product of two rational numbers is 5/8 . If one of them is -3/20 find the other .
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The other number is

$\frac{ - 6}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other number be x.

$( \frac{5}{8} ) \times (x) = \frac{ - 3}{20}$

$x = \frac{ - 3}{20} \times ( \frac{8}{5} )$

$x = \frac{ - 3}{5} \times \frac{2}{5}$

$x = \frac{ - 6}{25}$
