What should be multiplied with $\frac{-5}{8}$ to obtain the nearest integer?

Answer 1

Let the number be x
We know that nearest integer of $-\frac{5}{8}$ is $-1$
According to the question, $\frac{-5}{8}\times x=-1$
$\Rightarrow x=-1\times \frac{8}{-5}=\frac{8}{5}$

Hence, the required number is $\frac{8}{5}.$
