The product of two rational numbers is –7. if one of the number is –5, find the other?

The product of two rational numbers is $$-7$$. If one of the numbers is $$-5$$, find the other. Let the other number be  $$x$$

$$\implies (-5)(x)=-7\implies x=\dfrac{7}{5}$$

The product of two rational numbers is –7. If one of the number is –5, find the other?

Given, one number = – 5

Suppose, the other number be x.

Given, – 5x = – 7

⇒ `x = (-7)/(-5)`

⇒ `x = 7/5`

HEnce, the other number is `7/5`.
