Answer:
ans.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of two numbers is 2 : 3 and their product is 726. The smallest number between the two numbers is: 800. 1800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the higher or greater number.
Since the ratio between the higher and the smaller number is 2:3, then the smaller number = (2/3)n since {(2/3)n]/n = 2/3.
Since the sum of these two numbers is 225, then we can write the following equation:
n + (2/3)n = 225
Now, clear the equation of fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the only denominator, 3, as follows:
3[n + (2/3)n] = 225(3)
3n + (3)(2/3)n = 225(3)
3n + (3/1)(2/3)n = 675
3n + (6/3)n = 675
3n + 2n = 675
Now, collecting like-terms on the left side, we get:
(3 + 2)n = 675
5n = 675
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 5 in order to isolate n on the left side, thus solving for n:
(5n)/5 = 675/5
(5/5)n = 135
(1)n = 135
n = 135
CHECK:
n + (2/3)n = 225
135 + (2/3)(135) = 225
135 + (270/3) = 225
135 + 90 = 225
225 = 225
Therefore, n = 135 is indeed the higher or greater number.
