The other number is 1.25 .
proved to us , the first number is 5 .
let the other number is 'x' .
therefore we are having ,
the product of these numbers = 5x
the sum of these numbers = 5 + x
Also , the product of these two numbers is equal to the sum of these two numbers
so , 5x = 5 +x
4x = 5
x = 5/4 = 1.25
so the second number is 1.25
verification :
product of the numbers = 5 x 1.25 = 6.25
sum of the numbers = 5 + 1.25 = 6.25
Hence the result is correct
Therefore the other number is 1.25.
