Question

What number should be multiplied by -8/37 to obtain 1/78​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X =

$\frac{ - 37}{8 \times 78}$

Answer 2

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

              Given data:- $x\times \frac{-8}{37} =\frac{1}{78} .$

              To find:- Value of the expression.

              Solution:-

• Let assume x to find the missing term.

• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

• By using the transposition method.

       we get,

          $x\times \frac{-8}{37} =\frac{1}{78}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{-8x}{37} =\frac{1}{78} \\\\\Rightarrow -8x=37\times\frac{1}{78} \\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{\frac{37}{78}}{-8} \\\\\Rightarrow x= -\frac{37}{624} .$

    Hence we will get the equation $-\frac{37}{624} \times-\frac{8}{37} =\frac{1}{78} .$
