Compare the numbers using <, >, or =. 0.78 ___ 0.708 < > =
A table with columns filled with pairs of numbers that have the same ratio.
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
Therefore,
a - b = 3 ....... i
a + b = 13 ....... ii
From equation I, a = 3 + b
Put a = 3+b into equation ii
a + b = 13
3 + b + b = 13
3 + 2b = 13
2b = 13 - 3
2b = 10
b = 10/2
b = 5
Since a = 3 + b
a = 3 + 5
a = 8
The product of the numbers will be:
= 8 × 5
= 40
