Let x represent the larger number.
  1/(x -28) +4/x = 1/6
Multiplying by the product of denominators, we have
  6x +24(x -28) = x(x -28)
In standard form, this is
  x^2 -58x +672 = 0
  (x -42)(x -16) = 0

The two numbers are (-12 and 16) or (14 and 42).

<h3>What is ratio of two numbers?</h3>

The ratio of two number is the fraction part, which represent that how a number is more or less compare to the other.

There are two tables which give the number of pints of blue and yellow that are used to make different amounts of two shades of green dye. The table is given below;

  • Green #1 is made by mixing blue and yellow in a ratio of 2 : 3.
  • Green #2 is made by mixing blue and yellow in a ratio of 1 : 2.

The first one has 2 parts of blue at 3 parts of yellow. In the two highlighted rows show that for the same amount of yellow, Green #1 uses more blue than Green #2.

In grade two the blue part is half of the yellow part. This means that green #1 is bluer shade of green than Green # 2.

Hence, in the two highlighted rows show that for the same amount of yellow, Green #1 uses more blue than Green #2 and green #1 is bluer shade of green than Green # 2.
