Good day Nairalanders,
please I have this question that I've been cracking my head on for some hours since yesterday.
whoever can help me solve it I'll reward the person handsomely.
below is the question:

What are the numbers that you can multiply with both 7.8 and 1.10 respectively and arrive at a figure that will be more than the sum of the two numbers you used in the multiplication?

What is the reward.

12submarine:
What is the reward.

5,000

After Multiplying 7.8 and 1.10 with (a) certain number(s), what next? I'm confused

Shuu , this your question get as e be
Any number 1 and above you use to multiply each would give you a value greater than the sum of the numbers used in the multiplication , abi I no understand your question ni

Donald3d:

yes. a value that will be greater than the SUM OF THE TWO NUMBERS you used in th multiplication

Multiply each by two different negative integers. The results will always be less than the sum of the negative integers. Can I send my account details?

you are not calling figures. you can't be answering maths with a statement.

iamjames2222:

Multiply 7.8 by -52.1875.

Multiply 1.1 by -24.375

Forget the integer case, sorry about that.

The question is vague. The interpretation of what you wrote is not clear.

12submarine:

Multiply 7.8 by -52.1875.

Multiply 1.1 by -24.375

Forget the integer case, sorry about that.

Just go through the question again. from what you wrote above, THE SUM OF EACH OF THOSE SEPARATE MULTIPLICATIONS IS LESS THAN THE SUM OF 52.1875 + 24.375

Now I understand your question , Omo I don try am , I tried negative numbers sef ,tried very small fractions, its close to impossible .
What is the reward , I can write some code(computer program) to calculate it , but it will take hours if not days for the answer to come out , thats if it exists sef

Oh! I wouldn't mind. we can discuss your prize separately. there's so much at stake with this question.

Lets hear the prize range ? .E reach 1 Mill, I am serious o

Bro, just try! Money will not be an issue, trust me

Oga, pls state this question very clearly, I will solve it. I want to know if it is a combination of the products or each should be greater than which. Pls just state it very clear, I will solve it.

its a combination of the products. for example: if you come up with 56 and 22 for each of those cases(1.1 & 7.8 ) it then means that whatever you get by multiplying each of them must be more than 56+22

Okay, here are what I found.

Multiply 7.8 by -3.4375 = -26.8125

Multiply 1.1 by -24.375 = -26. 8125

Meanwhile, the sum of -3.4375 and -24.375 is -27.8125

-26.8125 being greater than -27.8125

Am I right?

if I remove the negative symbols will I still arrive at the same result?

iamjames2222:

Not possible.
Reverse will be the case.

12submarine:

Reverse will be the case.

then its baseless, cuz its a life application question, therefore those negative signs can't work
