$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{\red{Solution :\longrightarrow}}}}}$

$\bold{Let \: \: the \: \: other \: \: number \: \: be \: \: x.}$

$\bold{According \: \: to \: \: question}$

$\bold{x \times \frac{ 9}{8} = \frac{ - 3}{2}} \\ \\ \bold{= > x = \frac{ - 3}{2} \div \frac{9}{8} }\\ \\ \bold{= > x = \frac{ - 3}{2} \times \frac{8}{9}} \\ \\ \bold{= > x = \frac{ - 4}{3} }$

$\bold{Hence, \: \: the \: \: other \: \: number \: \: is \: \: \frac{ - 4}{3} .}$
