Question

The product of two number is 8 . If one of the numbers is 3 1/3 find the other number.

Answer 1

The other number ia:

12/5

Explanation:

3 1/3 = 3 + 1/3 = 9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3

a * 10/3 = 8

a = 8*3/10

a = 24/10

a = 12/5

a = 2.4

Check:

(12/5) * (10/3) = 8

(12*10) / (5*3) = 8

120 / 15 = 8

Answer 2

Hello!

Let the missing number be x.

⇒ 3 1/3 × x = 8

⇒ 10/3 × x = 8

⇒ x = 24/10

⇒ x = 12/5

The other number is
`\boxed {(12)/(5)}`
