Hi,
The 'clue' to the problem is the numbers must end with something that
results in a zero in the hundredths place when multiplied: {{{1.2*1.5 = 1.80}}]
and...the tenths digits of the numbers must add to 7. 
Let x and y represent the numbers
Question states***
 xy = 1.8   {{{y = 1.8/x}}}
x + y = 2.7
{{{x + (1.8/x) = 2.7}}}
 x^2 - 2.7x + 1.8 = 0   |
{{{x = (2.7 +- .3)/(2) }}} 
 x =  1.5  0r  x = 1.2
