The correct Answer is:
To find the other fraction when the product of two fractions is \(16 \frac{1}{9}\) and one of the fractions is \(4 \frac{2}{7}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions. - For \(16 \frac{1}{9}\): \[ 16 \frac{1}{9} = \frac{16 \times 9 + 1}{9} = \frac{144 + 1}{9} = \frac{145}{9} \] - For \(4 \frac{2}{7}\): \[ 4 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{4 \times 7 + 2}{7} = \frac{28 + 2}{7} = \frac{30}{7} \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Let the other fraction be \(x\). According to the problem: \[ \frac{30}{7} \times x = \frac{145}{9} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ x = \frac{145}{9} \div \frac{30}{7} \] ### Step 4: Division of Fractions Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ x = \frac{145}{9} \times \frac{7}{30} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Expression Now, we can multiply the fractions: \[ x = \frac{145 \times 7}{9 \times 30} \] Calculating the numerator and denominator: - Numerator: \(145 \times 7 = 1015\) - Denominator: \(9 \times 30 = 270\) So, \[ x = \frac{1015}{270} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Fraction To simplify \(\frac{1015}{270}\), we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 1015 and 270. The GCD is 5. Now, divide both the numerator and denominator by 5: \[ x = \frac{1015 \div 5}{270 \div 5} = \frac{203}{54} \] ### Final Answer The other fraction is: \[ \frac{203}{54} \] ---
