If the product of two positive fractions a and b is 15/56, find three pairs for possible values for a and b
all you have to do is find pairs of factor for both 15 and 56
e.g. 1,15 3,5
1.56 2, 28 4, 14
so three possibilities could be
1/1 x 15/56
3/4 x 5/14
1/2 x 15/28
Answer
Find out the three pairs for possible values for a and b .
To prove
As given
\(The\ product\ of\ two\ positive\ fractions\ a\ and\ b\ is\ \frac{15}{56} .\)
i.e it is written in the form.
\(a\times b = \frac{15}{56}\)
When
\(a = \frac{3}{2} , b = \frac{5}{28}\)
Than
\(\frac{3\times 5}{2\times 28} = \frac{15}{56}\)
When
\(a = \frac{3}{4} , b = \frac{5}{14}\)
Than
\(\frac{3\times 5}{4\times 14} = \frac{15}{56}\)
When
\(a = \frac{1}{2} , b = \frac{15}{28}\)
Than
\(\frac{1\times 15}{2\times 28} = \frac{15}{56}\)
Hence proved
