Question

the product of two rational numbers is 6.if one of them is 8, find the other

Answer 1

Answer:

The second number = $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The product of two rational numbers 6

One number is 8

To find,

The other number

Solution:

Let 'p' be the second number. Since it is given that the product of two rational numbers is 6

we have 8×p = 6

Divide throughout by 8 we get,

$\frac{8Xp}{8}$ = $\frac{6}{8}$

p = $\frac{6}{8}$

Cancel the common factor '2' we get

p = $\frac{3}{4}$

∴ The second number = $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$ is the second number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

The product of two rational numbers = 6

If one of them = 8

So, let x be another rational number.

Before we solve this question, we first know what is a rational number.

Rational number - A rational number can be stated mathematically as the ratio or fraction $\frac{p}{q}$ of two numbers, where p and q are the numerator and denominator, respectively.

Step 1:

From the question, product of two rational numbers = 6

⇒ x × 8 = 6

⇒x = $\frac{6}{8}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

Final answer:

Hence, $\frac{3}{4}$ is the second rational number.
