You can put this solution on YOUR website! The quotient of 2 positive integers is 5/2 and the product of the two values is 160. What is the largest of the two values?
------------------
x/y = 5/2
x*y = 160
----
x/y = 5/2 --> 2x = 5y --> y = 2x/5
Sub for y in the 2nd equation
x*y = 160
x*(2x/5) = 160
x^2 = 400
x = 20
-----
y = 8
