<h3>
Answer: 99 and 88</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The ratio of the two numbers is 9 to 8, which we can write as shorthand into 9:8
Multiplying both parts by x gets us the ratio 9x:8x where x is nonzero.
The numbers 9x and 8x add up to 187, so,
9x+8x = 187
17x = 187
x = 187/17
x = 11
Which then means
- 9x = 9*11 = 99
- 8x = 8*11 = 88
are the two numbers. Note how 9x+8x = 99+88 = 187 to help confirm the answers. Furthermore, note how 99:88 reduces to 9:8 after dividing both parts by the GCF 11.

Answer:
49.5 meters of linen were left after the sale.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there are 100 meters of linen
And 15.75, 22.50 and 12.25 meters are sold.

And then the quantity of sold linen will be subtracted from 100 to find the meters of linen left.

Left linen will be:

Hence,
49.5 meters of linen were left after the sale.
