The product of two rational numbers is -9. If one of the numbers is -12, find the other. |
Answer» Product of two rational numbers = -9 One rational number = -12 Let the other rational number = x Now, According to the question, -12 × x = -9 \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{-9}{-12}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{-9}{-12}= \frac{-9\times-1}{-12\times-1}=\frac{9}{12}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{9}{12} =\frac{9\div3}{12\div3}=\frac{3}{4}\) Hence, the other rational number is \(\frac{3}{4}\) |
