Answer 1

Answer:-

Let the quotient be 5.375

Quotient is 5 but the remainder is 0.375 times the divisor.

$(5.375 \: and \: 375/1000</p><p>$

Also 5 and 3/8

In fraction it is 43/8.

$(43..2)/(8..2) = ( \frac{86}{16} )$

The Two numbers 86 and 16

Thereforw, answer =102

Answer 2

The numbers are 96 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Statement - "A two-digit number divided by a two-digit number gives 5.875"

To be found:

we have to find the two numbers, the hint is they are two-digit numbers.

Solution:

Let us assume the two-digit numbers, A and B.

As per the question, while dividing A and B we get 5.875.

It is expressed as

$\frac{A}{B} =5.875$

The decimal value 5.875 can be written in another way.

that is,

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

The factors of 5875 and 1000 are,

$5875 = 5$×5×5×47

1000$=$5×5×5×8

therefore,

$\frac{A}{B}$⇒(5×5×5×47) ÷ (5×5×5×8)

⇒47 / 8

To make 8 as a two-digit number, multiply both numerator and denominator by 2

The numbers are 96 and 16
