Question

The product of two numbers is 1575 and their quotient is 9/7.Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Given,  x*y = 1575 and x/y = 9/7 We can write it as x = 9y/7 

          So, (9y/7)*y = 1575

                  y^2 = (7/9)*1575

                 y^2 = 1225

                 y = 35. 

        If y = 35, then x = 1575/35 = 45.

        If y = -35, then x = -45. 


Hope this helps!
