The product of two numbers is \(\frac{-16}{35}.\) If one of the numbers is \(\frac{-15}{14},\) the other isA. \(\frac{-2}{5}\)B. \(\frac{8}{15}\) C.  \(\frac{32}{75}\)D. \(\frac{-8}{3}\)

Answer»

Let the other number be x.

Then,

\(\frac{-15}{4}\times\text{x}=\frac{-16}{35}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-16}{35}\div\frac{-15}{14}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-16}{35}\times\frac{14}{-15}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-224}{-525}=\frac{-224\times-1}{-525\times-1}=\frac{224}{525}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{224}{525}=\frac{224\div7}{525\div7}=\frac{32}{75}\)
