Answer:

14 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 7x : 5x

The sum of the 2 numbers is 24, hence

7x + 5x = 24

12x = 24 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 2

7x = 7 × 2 = 14

5x = 5 × 2 = 10

Thus the numbers are 14 and 10

jeka94

We have been given that Jenna saves $3 for every $13 dollars she earns. Vanessa saves $6 for every $16 she earns.

We can compare the ratios of saved money to earned money by Jenna and Vanessa as:

\frac{3}{13} =\frac{6}{16}    

Let us simplify our equation.

0.2307692307692308=0.375    

We can see that 0.231\neq 0.375 , therefore, Jenna's ratio of money saved to money earned is not equivalent to Vanessa's ratio of money saved to money earned.
