Given the numerical statement:

The product of 4/3 with another number is -7/2

Determine the number.

Solution:

The given numerical statement can be written as,

let x= missing number

4/3x = -7/2

In order to determine the number, we simply need to multiply ¾ on both sides of the equation, this will cancel out 4/3x, leaving behind x.

(¾)(4/3x) = (-7/2)(¾)

x = -21/8

Final answer:

The missing number is -21/8
