Question

If the product of two decimal numbers is $38.745$ and one of the numbers is $2.7$ find the other.

Answer 1

Let the other number be $x$.

Now, according to the question

$x\times 2.7=38.745$

So, $x=\frac{38.745}{2.7}=\frac{\sout{{38745}^{1435}}}{100\cancel{0}}\times \frac{1\cancel{0}}{{\sout{27}}_1}$

$=\frac{1435}{100}=14.35$

Hence, the other number is $14.35$
