Answer:
The answer is 32/45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
The product of two numbers is 16/9
That's
x × y = 16/9
One of the numbers is 5/2
That's
y = 5/2
So we have
[tex] \frac{5}{2} x = \frac{16}{9} [/tex]
Multiply through by the LCM
The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18
That's
[tex]18 \times \frac{5}{2} x = \frac{16}{9} \times 18[/tex]
9 × 5x = 16 × 2
45x = 32
Divide both sides by 45
we have the final answer as
[tex]x = \frac{32}{45} [/tex]
Hope this helps you
