Question

The product of two numbers is 1296. if one of them is 16 times the other find the number?? ​

Answer 1

Given the product of two numbers = 1296

Also given that , one number is 16 times the other number

Let the other number be 'x' .

16 times of that number = 16×x = 16x

Now , Product of two numbers = 1296

⇒x×16x = 1296

⇒16x² = 1296

⇒ x² = 1296/16

⇒ x² = 81

⇒ x = √81 = 9

Therefore , the numbers are (x) = 9 ,

(16x) = 16 × 9 = 144 .

Answer 2

Answer:

let number to be x therefore other number will be 16x

according to problem x into 16x is 1296

therefore

$x {}^{2} = 81 \\ x = 9$
