Answer:
We know that the product of two rational numbers = 15
One of the number = -10
∴ other number can be obtained by dividing the product by the given number.
Other number = 15/-10
= -3/2

The product of two rational numbers is 15. If one of the numbers is −10, find the other.
\[\text{Let the other number be x .} \]\[ \therefore x \times ( - 10) = 15\]\[\text{or}\ x = \frac{15}{- 10} = \frac{3}{- 2}\]
\[\text{So, the other number is} \frac{- 3}{2} .\]

The product of two rational numbers is\[\frac{- 8}{9} .\] If one of the numbers is \[\frac{- 4}{15},\] find the other.
\[\text{Let the other number be x .} \]\[ \therefore x \times \frac{- 4}{15} = \frac{- 8}{9}\]\[\text{or} x = \frac{- 8}{9} \div \frac{- 4}{15}\]\[\text{or} x = \frac{- 8}{9} \times \frac{15}{- 4}\]\[\text{or} x = \frac{10}{3}\]
\[\text{Thus, the other number is} \frac{10}{3} .\]
