Two decimals whose difference is two could be 4.5 and 2.5. The difference between 4.5 and 2.5 is indeed 2. Another pair could be 6.8 and 4.8, as their difference is also 2.
Subtract the difference and half your answer, giving 9 which is the smaller number, add the difference to this and you get 38 which is the larger number.
2.9 and 0.1 are one possible pair.
1.502 and 0.499

18.812 and 31.187
8.7 x 7.3 = 63.51 8.7 - 7.3 = 1.4 The two numbers are therefore 8.7 and 7.3.
Subtract 36 from 60, that give you 24. Divide 24 in half that gives you 12. Add 36 to 12. 12 and 48.
0.8 * 0.2
3.5 and 14.35 are.
1.502 and 0.499

Method 1: 75 - 31 = 44, half of 44 is 22 which is the smaller number so the larger is 53. Method 2: 75 = 38 + 37, difference 1. Add 15 to 38 and subtract 15 from 37 and you get 53 and 22. The choice is yours...
