Answer 2

Answer:

• The larger number is 7.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• The product of two numbers is 18.75.
• One number is thrice of another.

To Find:

• The larger number.

Let us assume:

• The smaller number be x.
• Larger number = 3x

Finding the numbers:

According to the question.

→ 3x × x = 18.75

→ 3x² = 18.75

→ x² = 18.75/3

→ x² = 6.25

→ x = √6.25

→ x = 2.5

Smaller number = x = 2.5

Larger number = 3x = 3(2.5) = 7.5

Hence,

• The larger number is 7.5.
