Answer:

The other rational number is
(14)/(27).

Explanation:

First rational number is
(-2)/(3)

Let other rational number is
(x)/(y)

The product of two rational numbers is
(-28)/(81)

According to question,


(x)/(y)* (-2)/(3)=(-28)/(81)

Multiplying both sides by (-3/2) such that,


(x)/(y)* (-2)/(3)* (-3)/(2)=(-28)/(81)* (-3)/(2)\\\\(x)/(y)=(14)/(27)

So, the other rational number is
(14)/(27).
