Question

the product of two number is 15 5/6. if one of the numbers is 623 find the other

Answer 1

Answer

Let us take smaller number as x and the bigger number as y

As we know,

when y/xy/x, 6 is the quotient and 15 is the remainder

Therefore,

6x+15=y6x+15=y

6x−y+15=06x−y+15=0 ———eq.1

Also we know that difference between the two numbers is 1365

Therefore,

y−x=1365y−x=1365

=>−x+y−1365=0=>−x+y−1365=0 ——-eq. 2

Adding eq.1 & eq. 2

=>−x+y−1365+6x−y+15=0=>−x+y−1365+6x−y+15=0

=>5x=1350=>5x=1350

=>x=270=>x=270

Therefore smaller number is 270270 and larger number is 270+1365=1635270+1365=1635

Hope this answered your question…

Answer 2

Answer:

to find the other no follow this step

let the second no be x

now x×623=15⅚

×=623÷95/6

x=623/1×6/95

x=2 whole 3/8
