Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required common multiplier of the given ratios be x.

Therefore, the required numbers are 5x and 7x.

According to the given information:

5x + 7x = 96

12x = 96

x = 96/12

x = 8

7x = 7*8 = 56

Thus, the largest number is 56.

Liono4ka [1.6K]
Given:
Original dog treat: 8 inches long, 3.2 inches wide.
Miniature dog treat: 3 inches long, ? wide

We simply do cross multiplication of its proportion:

Length to its width.

Original treat: 8/3.2
Miniature treat: 3/x

8/3.2 = 3/x

Cross multiply:
8 * x = 3.2 * 3
8x = 9.6

Find the value of x
x = 9.6/8
x = 1.2

The width of the miniature dog treat is 1.2 inches.

To check:
original treat: 8/3.2 = 2.5
miniature treat: 3/1.2 = 2.5

or: 
8/3.2 = 3/1.2
8 * 1.2 = 3.2 * 3
9.6 = 9.6
