The product of two rational numbers is -14/27. If one of the numbers be 7/9, find the other

Solution:

Given product of two rational numbers is -14/27

One number is 7/9

Let us assume the second number is x

(7/9) × (x) = -14/27

x = (-14/27) × (9/7)

x = -2/3

Therefore, the other number is -2/3

✦ Try This: The product of two rational numbers is -14/27. If one of the numbers be 3/2, find the other

Given product of two rational numbers is -14/27

One number is 3/2

Let us assume the second number is x

(3/2) × (x) = -14/27

x = (-14/27) × (3/2)

x = -7/9

Therefore, the other number is -7/9
