Let the rational between the two numbers be x

Ratio ⇒ 4:5

Numbers are 4x and 5x.

If the bigger number is 15 more than the smaller number,

5x = 4x + 15

5x - 4x = 15

x= 15

The rational is 15, hence the numbers are

Snaller number = 4x = 4 × 15 = 60

Larger number = 5x = 5 × 15 = 75

The product of the two numbers

60 × 75 = 4500
