Answer 2

The numbers are 5 and 28.

let us say the smaller number is P

so the larger number will be 5.6P

what is the product of two numbers?

the product of two numbers means the result of multiplying two numbers together.

now as per the given conditions,

P× (5.6P)= 140

5.6P²= 140

P²=25

P=5

so smaller number= 5

larger number= 5.6×5=28.

therefore, the numbers are 5 and 28.
