    6. By what number should 5-1 be multiplied so that the product may be equal to (-7)-
    1
    ?
    Solution:
    Let us consider a number x
    So, 5-1 × x = (-7)-1
    1/5 × x = 1/-7
    x = (-1/7) / (1/5)
    = (-1/7) × (5/1)
    = -5/7

    7. By what number should (1/2)-1 be multiplied so that the product may be equal to
    (-4/7)-1?
    Solution:
    Let us consider a number x
    So, (1/2)-1 × x = (-4/7)-1
    1/(1/2) × x = 1/(-4/7)
    x = (-7/4) / (2/1)
    = (-7/4) × (1/2)
    = -7/8

    8. By what number should (-15)-1 be divided so that the quotient may be equal to (-
    5)-1?
    Solution:
    RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter
    2 – Powers

    Let us consider a number x


    So, (-15)-1 ÷ x = (-5)-1
    1/-15 × 1/x = 1/-5
    1/x = (1×-15)/-5
    1/x = 3
    x = 1/3
