Answer

Given, the product of two fractions = 153415\dfrac{3}{4}

One of the fraction = 4124\dfrac{1}{2}

Let x be the other fraction.

x×412=1534x=1534÷412=634÷92=634×29=63×24×9=12636=72=312.\Rightarrow x \times 4\dfrac{1}{2} = 15\dfrac{3}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 15\dfrac{3}{4} ÷ 4\dfrac{1}{2}\\[1em] = \dfrac{63}{4} ÷ \dfrac{9}{2}\\[1em] = \dfrac{63}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{9}\\[1em] = \dfrac{63 \times 2}{4 \times 9}\\[1em] = \dfrac{126}{36}\\[1em] = \dfrac{7}{2}\\[1em] = 3\dfrac{1}{2}.

Hence, the other fraction = 3123\dfrac{1}{2}.
