Question

Q17. If the product of two rational numbers is -9/16 and one of the is -4/15, find the other number.​

Answer 1

We know that the product of two rational numbers is -9/16 and one of them is -4/15. We can set up the equation using the product of the numbers:

(-4/15) * x = -9/16

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

-4/15 * x = -9/16

-4 * x = -9 * 15/16

x = (-9 * 15) / (-4 * 16)

x = -135/64

Therefore, the other number is -135/64.
