The product of two rational numbers is (- 8/9). If one of the numbers is (- 4/15), find the other.
Given product of two rational numbers = -8/9
One of the number = -4/15
∴ other number
= (-8/9) /(-4/15)
= (-8/9) × (15/-4)
= (-2/3) × (5/-1)
= (-2×5) /(3×-1)
= -10/-3
= 10/3
Given product of two numbers = (-8/9)
One of them is (-4/15)
Let the required number be x
x × (-4/15) = (-8/9)
x = (-8/9) ÷ (-4/15)
x = (-8/9) × (15/-4)
x = (-120/-36)
x = (10/3)
