Question

The product of two numbers is 1296. If one number is 16 times the other, find the two numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first number be x. Then, other number is 16x.

Now, x×16x=1296

16x² =1296

x²=81

x=9

16x=16×9=144

Thus, the two numbers are 9 and 144.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let a number be X then

another number is 16X.

also,

X × 16X= 1296

16X square= 1296

X square= 1296÷16

X= √ 81

X= +/- 9

then

16X= +/- 16×9

= +/- 144
