Answer:

1 1/2

Explanation:

You want the other number when one of the two numbers that have a product of 7 is 4 2/3.

Let x represent the unknown factor. Then we have ...

(4 2/3)x = 7

(14/3)x = 7 . . . . . . write as improper fraction

x = (3/14)(7) . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of x

x = 3/2 = 1 1/2

The other number is 1 1/2.
