If you have 3/5 marbles and you got 4/3more marbles then all you have to do is:3/5 x 3/3 and get 9/15.For 4/3 you multiply 4/3 x 5/5 and get 20/15.You simplify this and get 1 5/15.Now all you do is add them and get 1 14/15. Hope this helped you :-).
Answer:
the numbers are 31 and 14
Step-by-step explanation:
since the larger number is 17 more than the smaller number,
larger number= x
smaller number= x-17
x-17+x=45
2x=45+17
2x=62
x=31
x-17=31-17
The answer is 266 but estimated is 260
