1.	The product of two numbers is -1/6, if one of them is -5/8, the other number is-
Answer» Given: (1) PRODUCT of two numbers= -1/6 (2) One of the numbers= -5/8 To FIND: Other NUMBER=? Solution: Let that other number be x. So, -5/8×x= -1/6 -5x/8= -1/6 -5x= -1/6×8 -5x=-8/6 x=-8/6/-5 x= -8/6× 1/-5 x=8/6×1/5 x=8/30 x=4/15 Therefore, the other number is 4/15.

The product of two numbers is -1/6, if one of them is -5/8, the other number is-

Answer»

(1) PRODUCT of two numbers= -1/6

(2) One of the numbers= -5/8

Other NUMBER=?

Let that other number be x.

So,

-5/8×x= -1/6

-5x/8= -1/6

-5x= -1/6×8

-5x=-8/6

x=-8/6/-5

x= -8/6× 1/-5

x=8/6×1/5

x=8/30
