Product of two rational numbers = \(\frac{-16}{9}\)

One rational number = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)

Let the other rational number = x 

Now, 

According to the question,

\(\frac{-4}{3}\times \text{x} = \frac{-16}{9}\) \(\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x} =\frac{-16}{9}\div\frac{-4}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-16}{9}\times\frac{3}{-4}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\text{x}=\frac{-16\times3}{9\times-4}\)

\(\Rightarrow \) \(\text{x}=\frac{-48\times-1}{-36\times-1}=\frac{48}{36}\)

\(\Rightarrow \) \(\text{x}=\frac{48}{36}=\frac{48\div12}{36\div12}=\frac{4}{3}\)

Hence, the other rational number is \(\frac{4}{3}\)
