Question

a two digit number divided by another two digit number gives 5.875 what are the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers are 94 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.875 = \frac{5875}{1000}$

The HCF of 5875 and 1000 is 125.

dividing numerator and denominator by 125 we have

$5.875 = \frac{5000}{1000} = \frac{47}{8}$

since 8 is a single digit number we multiply numerator and denominator by 2 to make both of them two digits

$\frac{5.875}{1000} = \frac{5875}{1000} = \frac{47}{8} = \frac{94}{16}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Thats easy, first lets break down 5. 875 into integer and fraction part.

5. 875=5+0.875

Now lets try to convert 0.875 in p/q form or fraction form,for this lets multiply and divide 0.875 by 1000.

We get 875/1000, after simplifying we get 7/8.

Now lets add 7/8 to 5

5+7/8=47/8

Now it says in the question that both the numbers are supposed to be two-digit numbers, so lets multiply and divide 47/8 by 2

47*2/8*2=94/16

And voila..

The numbers you are looking for are 94 and 16.

Thank you.

I hope you understood my point.
