Question

The product of two numbers is 972 and their quotient is 4/3.find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

let the 1st number be x the 2nd number will be 972/x.

Here,

x/972/x = 4/3

= x^2/972 = 4/3

by cross multiplication,we get,

= 3x^2 = 3888

= x^2 = 3888/3

= x^2 = 1296

x = 36

Hence,

1st number (x) = 36

2nd number (972/x) = 27
