What two numbers have a product of 15 and a quotient of 35?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 15 and a quotient of 35?" We show you step-by-step how find the answer so you can solve problems like this on your own in the future.

We will call the two numbers we are looking for x and y, and we will start by making two equations like this:

Equation 1: Two numbers have a product of 15, means:

x • y = 15

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 35, means:

x / y = 35
x = 35y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 15 with 35y, like this:

x • y = 15
35y • y = 15
y = 0.654654

Finally, since y = 0.654654, we put 0.654654 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 15 with 0.654654, like this:

x • 0.654654 = 15
x = 22.912878

Thus, the answer is "0.654654 and 22.912878" as illustrated here:

22.912878 • 0.654654 = 15

22.912878 / 0.654654 = 35

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest 6 decimals if necessary, so the answers may not be exact.
