Question

The product of two numbers is -20/9. If one of the numbers is 4, find the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

$- \frac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two numbers is the resulting number after multiplying those 2 numbers together.

Let the other number be x.

$4x = - \frac{20}{9}$

To find x, divide both sides by 4:

$x = - \frac{20}{9} \div 4 \\ x = - \frac{20}{36} \\ x = - \frac{5}{9}$

Thus, the other number is $- \frac{5}{9}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

Product of 2 number = -20/9

One number = 4

To Find :-

x

Solution :-

Let the second number be x

$\large \tt \: 4 \times x = \dfrac{ - 20}{9}$

$\large \tt \: 4x = \dfrac{ - 20}{9}$

$\large \sf \: x = \dfrac{-20}{9} \times 4$

$\large \tt \: \dfrac{ - 20}{9 \times 4} = \dfrac{ - 20}{36}$

${ \bf{ \red{ \underline{ x = \dfrac{-5}{9}}}}}$
