Answer:

The two numbers are 24 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the variable x

3x : 4x, would be a ratio of 3/4

now subtract 4 from both

3x - 4 : 4x - 4 = 5/7

3x-4 / 4x-4 = 5/7

cross multiplication

7(3x - 4) = 5(4x - 4)

21x - 28 = 20x - 20

x = 8

Two numbers are;

3x, 4x

3(8), 4(8)

24, 32

24/32 = 3/4

20/28 = 5/7

What is the common difference of 80,60,45,33.75
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The common difference (or common ratio) = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the first term be a_{1} = 80

ii) let the second term be a_{2}  = a_{1} . r = 80 × r = 60      ∴  r = \frac{60}{80} = 0.75

iii) let the third term be     a_{3}  = a_{2} . r = 60 × r = 45      ∴  r = \frac{45}{60} = 0.75

iv) let the fourth term be   a_{4} = a_{3} . r = 45 × r = 33.75   ∴ r = \frac{33.75}{45} = 0.75

Therefore we can see that the series of numbers are part of a geometric progression and the first term is 80 and the common ratio = 0.75.
