i don't get it...

amistre64 · Answer

larger decimal has to be greater than 1, and smaller decimal needs to be less than .423;  and those decimals should multiply to = .423 in order to satisfy the requirements for 'a'.  choose a decimal smaller than .423 and find its mate to satisfy the conditions
