By what number should \((\frac{5}{3})^{-2}\) be multiplied so that the product may be \((\frac{7}{3})^{-1}\)?

Answer»

Let the number should \((\frac{5}{3})^{-2}\) be multiplied by x

According to the question:

\(x\times (\frac{5}{3})^{-2}\)\((\frac{7}{3})^{-1}\)

 \(x\times (\frac{3}{5})^{2}\)\(\frac{3}{7}\)[Using \(a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^{n}}\)]

\(x= \frac{3}{7}\div (\frac{3}{5})^{2}\)

\(x=\frac{3}{7}\times \frac{25}{7}=\frac{25}{21}\)[Using and \(\frac{1}{a}\div \frac{1}{b}\)= \(\frac{1}{a}\times \frac{b}{1}\)]

Therefore

\((\frac{1}{2})^{-1}\) should be multiplied by \(\frac{25}{21}\)
