one number is 25 times larger then another the diffrence of there reciprocals is three what are the two numbers
Let one of the numbers be x
the other number will be 25x
the reciprocals of the numbers are
1/x and 1/25x
1/x-1/25x=3 Take LCM as 25x
24/25x = 3
or 24/(25*3) = x
=8/25
The other number will be 25* 8/25 = 25
The numbers are 8/25 and 25
