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:
\[
\frac{203}{54}
\]
