Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 4: 5

Answer 1

Answer:

48 and 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are given that the ratio is 4:5

we have two numbers, the bigger and the smaller number

case one: bigger= 60

the smaller is

4/5= x/60

5x= 60*4

5x= 240

x= 48

case two: smaller number = 60

4/5=60/x

4x= 60*5

4x= 300

x= 300/4

x= 75

Hence the two possible numbers are 48 and 75
