Question

find two decimals satisfying the criteria given in each part.
a. one of the decimals is greater that 1 and the product of the two decimals is 0.423.
b. both decimals are greater than 0 and less than 1. their quotient is 7.

Answer 1

Ld > 1, Ld(Sd) = .423

Ld = .423/Sd

.423/Sd >1

.423 > Sd

Sd < .423 <1< Ld

Whatever fits this criteria

Answer 2

i don't get it...

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

oh...and 0 < Sd otherwise you get a negative number :)

Answer 5

ah ha! thank you!
