ONLY ANS IF U KNOW

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

135÷15=9

if you wanna check : 9 times 15=135

Answer 2

let the two numbers be Xand Y

X×Y=135

both X and Y are divisible by 3

then X=3a, Y=3b

so 3a×3b=135

a×b=135/9

a×b=15

15 can be written as the product of two numbers in two ways, which are 1×15 or 3×5

if a=1 ,X=3 but neither of the numbers is 3

therefore a=3,b=5

X=3×3=9

Y=3×5=15

so the larger number is 15
