One positive integer is 5 times another positive integer and their product is 320. What are the positive integers?

Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = 5y
xy = 320

Substitute the first equation into the second equation
(5y)(y) = 320
5y^2 = 320
y^2 = 64
y = 8 (y must be positive)

The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
