Answer

Let the number be xx.

227×x=49x=49÷227x=49×272x=4×279×2x=10818x=6\dfrac{-2}{27} \times x = -\dfrac{4}{9}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = -\dfrac{4}{9} ÷ \dfrac{-2}{27}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = -\dfrac{4}{9} \times \dfrac{-27}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{4 \times 27}{9 \times 2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{108}{18}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 6

The other number is 6.
