The larger number is 30.
Set up your equation.
x + y = 25
The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.
The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25
Add 5 to each side to isolate x.
x=30
I think this is right. Hope it helps

Answer is the ratio 1000:193:61</h3>
Explanation
1 liter = 1000 mL
For every 1000 mL of water, we need 193 mL of sucrose and 61 mL of saline solution.
The ratio is therefore 1000:193:61
We cannot simplify this ratio any further because the GCF of those three terms is 1.
A quick way to see this is to look at how 1000 = (2*5)^3 has prime factors 2 and 5, but 2 nor 5 are factors of 193 and 61. So only 1 is a factor of all three values 1000, 193, 61
The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3
