Answer:
0.05 and 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two unknown numbers be "x" and "y"
We have been given that: "The sum of two numbers is 0.25". This means, sum of x and y would be 0.25. Setting up the equation, we get:
x + y = 0.25 Equation 1
The quotient of these numbers is 0.25. This means that when one number is divided by the second, the answer is 0.25. So, x divided by y would be equal to 0.25. Setting up the equation, we get:
[tex]\frac{x}{y} =0.25\\\\ x = 0.25y[/tex]
Substituting this value of x in Equation 1:
[tex]0.25y + y = 0.25\\\\ 1.25y = 0.25\\\\ y= \frac{0.25}{1.25}\\\\ y=0.2[/tex]
Using the value of y, to find x:
[tex]x=0.25y=0.25\times 0.2=0.05[/tex]
Thus, the two required numbers are 0.05 and 0.2
