Question

The product of two numbers is $-60$. If one of them is $-5$, find the other number.

Answer 1

The product of two numbers is $-60$. One of them is $-5$

Let the other number be $\mathrm{x}$

According to the question,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{x}\times -5=-60 \\ \mathrm{x}=\frac{-60}{-5}=12 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the other number is $12$
