Lets set the two numbers as 'a' and 'b'
Now let us set up some equations based on the information:
- sum of two numbers 49 --> a + b = 49
- difference of the two numbers is 15 --> a -b =15
Equations
a + b = 49 -- equation 1
a - b = 15 -- equation 2
Solve:
(equation 1) + (equation 2)
2a = 64
a = 32 -- equation 3
(equation 3)'s value of a into (equation 2)
32 - b = 15
b = 17
The products of 'a' and 'b' is 544
Hope that helps!
In mathematics multiplying decimals is just like multiplying a whole number and ignoring the decimals., then just put the decimals in the answer – it is how many decimals does the two numbers combined.
First step:
Line the numbers on the right and do not a line the decimal points
26.2
× 16.43
Second Step:
Multiply the numbers starting on the right, just like multiplying a whole number and ignore the decimals.
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430466
Third step: add the products
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430.466 is the mathematician’s answer.
Oh, I remember this one. Here's this if you need it, if it doesn't help then let me know.
Hope this helps! the answer is option (A). if you still don’t understand after looking at my solution feel free to clarify ya
45 would most likely be right
