Question

I divided one hole number by another hole number and got 3.125 on my calculator. both my numbers are less than 50 but I'v forgotten what they are. Can you work out what they are?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1.25/8=3.125

50/16=3.125

but it tells that both two numbers are less than 50 then,the numbers are 25 and 8

Answer 2

25 and 8

Explanation:

a/b = 3.125

a/b = 3125/1000

make it simple (divide by 25)

a/b = 125/40

ah, can be more simple (divide by 5)

a/b = 25/8

see 25 + 8 is less than 50
