Question

By what number should we multiply $\frac{-8}{13}$ so that the product may be $24$?

• A. $26$
• B. $29$
• C. $-39$
• D. $19$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $-39$

Let, the number be $x$,
$x\times \frac{-8}{13}=24$
$\Rightarrow x=24÷\frac{-8}{13}$
$\Rightarrow x=24\times \frac{13}{-8}\Rightarrow x=-39$
