    Answer:−

    Given :

    The product of two number is 20/56

    One of the number is -5/48

    To Find :

    Have to find the other number which is multiplied by -5/48 gives that 20/56.

    Solution :

    Let us assume that other number be “x”.

    Now,

    According to question,

    Product of two rational numbers is 20/56

    \begin{gathered} \longmapsto \sf \: (x) \times \left( \dfrac{ – 5}{48} \right ) = \frac{20}{56} \\ \end{gathered}

    ⟼(x)×(

    48

    )=

    56

    20

    \begin{gathered}\longmapsto \sf \: \frac{ – 5x}{48} = \frac{20}{56} \\ \end{gathered}

    =

    \begin{gathered}\longmapsto \sf \: – 5x = \frac{20}{56} \times 48 \\ \end{gathered}

    ⟼−5x=

    \begin{gathered}\longmapsto \sf \:x = – \frac{120}{7 \times 5} \\ \end{gathered}

    •°• Other number is -24/7 .

    Verification:-

    -24/7 × -5/48 = 20/56

    120/336 = 20/56

    20/56 = 20/56

    [ °•° 120/336 = 20/56 , By multiples of 6]

    Hence Verified !!
