Question

One number is 1/4 of another number. The sum of the two numbers is 5. Find the two numbers. Use a comma to separate your answer

Answer 1

Answer: 1, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

• Number #1 = x
• Number #2 = $\frac{1}{4} x$

$\frac{1}{4} x+x=5\\\\\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{4}{4} x=5\\\\\frac{5}{4} x=5\\\\5x=4*5\\5x=20\\x=4$

• Number #1 = x = 4
• Number #2 = $\frac{1}{4} x$ = $\frac{1}{4} *4=\frac{4}{4} =1$
