Question

The sum of two numbers is 12 and their product is 35 what is the sum of the reciprocals of these numbers

Answer 1

Numbers are 7 and 5

Their Reciprocal

0.34285714

Answer 2

Answer:

12/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers = x and y

Sum of two numbers = 12

x + y = 12

There product is = 35

x * y = 35

Reciprocal of x is 1/x

Reciprocal of y is 1/y

Sum of the reciprocal of these number

=1/x+1/y

=y+x/x*y

=12/35

Therefore ,sum of the reciprocal of x and y is 12/3
