Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

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

One of the number is = $\frac{-1}{6}$

Let the other number be 'a'

a x $\frac{-1}{6}$ = $\frac{-7}{8}$

a = $\frac{-7}{8}$  ÷ $\frac{-1}{6}$

a = $\frac{-7}{8}$  × $\frac{-6}{1}$

a = $\frac{42}{8}$ = $\frac{21}{4}$

a = 5.25

∴ The other number is 5.25 or $\frac{21}{4}$
