X = 1st number
y = 2nd number
x + y = 200
x : y = 4 : 6
ok! let's substitute numbers!
4 * 10 : 6 * 10
40 : 60
40 + 60 = 200
100 ≠ 200
Too small!
That is exactly two times smaller than 200 so let's try 2 times greater than multiplying by 10
4 * 20 : 6 * 20
80 : 120
80 + 120 = 200
200 = 200
Now it says to find the larger number. Which is y.
x :y = 4 : 6 = 80 : 120
so, y is 120
y = 120
Answer : y = 120. The larger number is 120.

No solution?
Step-by-step explanation:
Im confused, can you give more information.
Step by step:
3 x 9/10
Turn 3 into a fraction
3/1 x 9/10
Now multiply straight across
3x9=27 and 1x10=10
So you get
27/10 or 27/10 or 2.7
This can also be completed by simply turning 9/10 into a decimal and doing
3 x 0.9 = 2.7
Which ones do you need help with?
(1 7/10) / (3/5)
(17/10) / (3/5) =
17/10 * 5/3 =
85/30 =
2 5/6........yes, because 1 7/10 divided by 3/5 = 2 5/6...answer C
