Question

The product of two decimals is 0.16. The quotient of the larger decimal divided by the smaller decimal is 4

Answer 1

Equation 1: x * y = 0.16

Equation 2: x / y = 4

We can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.

From Equation 2, we can isolate x:

x = 4 * y

Now substitute the value of x into Equation 1:

4 * y * y = 0.16

Simplify the equation:

4y^2 = 0.16

Divide both sides by 4:

y^2 = 0.04

Take the square root of both sides:

y = 0.2

Now that we have the value of y, we can substitute it back into the equation for x:

x = 4 * 0.2

x = 0.8
