Answer:
The numbers are 2 and 8.
Solution,
Let the numbers be X and 4x
[tex] \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{4x} = \frac{5}{8} \\ or \: \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4x} = \frac{5}{8} \\ or \: \frac{4 + 1}{4x} = \frac{5}{8} \\ or \: \frac{5}{4x} = \frac{5}{8} \\ or \: 5 \times 4x = 5 \times 8(cross \: multiplication) \\ or \: 20x = 40 \\ or \: x = \frac{40}{20} \\ x = 2 \\ again \\ 4x \\ = 4 \times x \\ = 4 \times 2 \\ = 8[/tex]
hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment..
