The product of two number is 20 5/7. If one of the number is 6 2/5 find the other

Answer 1

To find the other number, we can divide the product by the given number.

First, let's convert 6 2/5 to an improper fraction:
6 2/5 = (5*6 + 2)/5 = 32/5

Now, divide the product 20 5/7 by 32/5:
(20 5/7) ÷ (32/5)

To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So,
(20 5/7) ÷ (32/5) = (20 5/7) * (5/32)

Let's add the whole number and fraction separately:
20 * 5/32 + 5/7 * 5/32

Multiply the numerators and denominators:
(100/32) + (25/32)

Combine the fractions:
125/32

The other number is 125/32 or 3 29/32.
