Question

the product of two numbers is 1296 the one number is 16 times the other number find the two numbers

Answer 1

y*x=1296

Assume any variable as the number 16 times the number

16(x)*x=1296
2x=1296/16
2x=81
x=81/2
  =40.5

∴x=40.5
  
   y=40.5*16
     =648

Answer 2

Hlo friend, here is your answer.

Let the one number be x. Then,

the other number = 16x.

According to question,

x × 16x = 1296

16x^2 = 1296

x^2 = 1296/16

x^2 = 81

x = √81

x = 9

Hence, the first number = 9

and the second number = 16×9 = 144.


Hope it helps you.
