The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the other fraction when the product of two fractions is given. Here’s how we can do it: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We are given that the product of two fractions is \(9 \frac{3}{5}\) and one of the fractions is \(9 \frac{3}{7}\). We need to find the other fraction. ### Step 2: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. - For \(9 \frac{3}{5}\): \[ 9 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{9 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{45 + 3}{5} = \frac{48}{5} \] - For \(9 \frac{3}{7}\): \[ 9 \frac{3}{7} = \frac{9 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{63 + 3}{7} = \frac{66}{7} \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation Let the other fraction be \(x\). According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{66}{7} \times x = \frac{48}{5} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ x = \frac{48}{5} \div \frac{66}{7} \] Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ x = \frac{48}{5} \times \frac{7}{66} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Expression Now we can simplify: \[ x = \frac{48 \times 7}{5 \times 66} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 48 \times 7 = 336 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 5 \times 66 = 330 \] So we have: \[ x = \frac{336}{330} \] ### Step 6: Reduce the Fraction Now we simplify \(\frac{336}{330}\): Both numbers can be divided by 6: \[ \frac{336 \div 6}{330 \div 6} = \frac{56}{55} \] ### Step 7: Convert Back to Mixed Number Since \(56\) is greater than \(55\), we convert it back to a mixed number: \[ 56 \div 55 = 1 \quad \text{remainder } 1 \] Thus, \[ \frac{56}{55} = 1 \frac{1}{55} \] ### Conclusion The other fraction is \(1 \frac{1}{55}\). ---
