Question

The sum of two numbers is 45. One number is 4 times and large as the other what are the numbers now

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 36 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48

We know that: n <44, 48

Let's try some values:

45 - 40 = 4

45- 36 = 9

45- 28 = 17

45- 24 = 21

Pattern: The lesser a natural numer's absolute value, the greater [larger number] it produces. (Bold = "larger numbers")

We recognize something: 36 + 9 = 45 and 36 is exactly 4 times greater than 9.
