\huge\bold{Given :}

Product of two numbers = 1.875

One of the number = 2.5


\huge\bold{To\:find :}

The second number.


\huge\bold{Solution :}


\sf\blue{The \:second\:number \:is\:0.75 .}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}

Let the second number be
x.

As per the question, we have


Product \: \: of \: \: the \: \: two \: \: numbers = 1.875


⇢ \: 2.5 * x = 1.875


⇢x = (1.875)/(2.5)


⇢x = 0.75


\sf\purple{Therefore,\:the\:second\:number\:is\:0.75.}


\huge\bold{To\:verify :}


2.5 * x = 1.875


➪ \: 2.5 * 0.75 = 1.875


➪ \: 1.875 = 1.875

➪ L. H. S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.
