Question

The product of two rational numbers is -6/7. If one of the number is 1/3, find the other number.

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Let}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{other}\mathrm{number}=\mathrm{x} \\ \mathrm{Now},\frac{1}{3}\times \mathrm{x}=-\frac{6}{7} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{x}}{3}=-\frac{6}{7} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=-\frac{18}{7} \end{gathered}$$
