Question

The product of two rational numbers is -7/8. If one number is 6 / 5 , find the other.​

Answer 1

Given:

Product of two rational numbers = $\frac{ - 7}{8}$

One of the number = $\frac{ 6}{5}$

To find:

The other number.

Solution:

Let the other number be $x$.

As per the question,

Product of two rational numbers = $\frac{ - 7}{8}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $\frac{6}{5} \times x = \frac{ - 7}{8}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x = \frac{ - 7}{8} \times \frac{5}{6}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x = \frac{ - 35}{48}$

Therefore, the other number is $\boxed{ \frac{ - 35}{48} }$.
