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
