Question

The product 9f 2 numbers is 16/9 . if one number is 5 /2 find the other number​

Answer 1

The answer is 32/45

Explanation:

Let the number be x

The product of two numbers is 16/9

That's

x × y = 16/9

One of the numbers is 5/2

That's

y = 5/2

So we have

`(5)/(2) x = (16)/(9)`

Multiply through by the LCM

The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18

That's

`18 * (5)/(2) x = (16)/(9) * 18`

9 × 5x = 16 × 2

45x = 32

Divide both sides by 45

we have the final answer as

`x = (32)/(45)`

Hope this helps you
