Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

9 and 144

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer:

9 and 144

Explanation:

let the smaller number be x

therefore the larger becomes 16x (as the larger is 16 times the smaller)

A.T.Q.

larger number*smaller number = 1296

16x * x = 1296

16x² = 1296

x² = 1296 ÷16

x² = 81

x = √81

x = 9

the smaller number is x ,i.e. , 9

the larger number = 16x

= 16* 9

= 144
