QUESTION:

The product of 2 numbers is 1296. If one number is 16 times the other. Find the number.

Let's assume:

The number= x

other number=16x

Given:

The product of 2 numbers= 1296

SOLUTION:

$16x \times x = 1296 \\ 16x {}^{2} = 1296 \\ x {}^{2} = \frac{1296}{16} \\ x {}^{2} = 81 \\ x = \sqrt{81} \\ x = 9$

The number x=9

16x=144
