The two numbers would be 12 and 8 because 12 is 4 more than 8 and so the sum of 12 and 8 is 20.

X=y+4 
x+y=20

now substitute the x for (y+4) in the second equation
(y+4)+y=20
2y+4=20
2y=16
y=8
now substitute 8 for y in the first equation 
x=8+4
x=12
so y=8 and x=12

A baseball player made six hits in nine innings. What is the ratio of hits to innings?
UNO [17]
A baseball player made six hits in nine innings.

Therefore, his ratio of hits to innings, which means his number of hits relative to the number of innings, is 6:9.

However, this isn't simplified.  To simplify a ratio, we must find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of the two terms.

The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3, thus, we divide both of the terms by 3 to get our simplified answer.

6:9 = 6/3 : 9/3 = 2:3

Your answer is that the ratio of hits to innings for the baseball player is 2:3.  (This can also be expressed as 2/3 or 2 to 3.)

Hope this helps! :)
