Question

14. The difference between two whole numbers is 132. The ratio of the two numbers is 4:10. What are the
two numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume the two whole numbers as X and Y for our convinience to solve.

The given ratio is 4:10 i.e., X:Y=4:10

let us assume X:Y=4:10 =K, then

x=4K and Y=10K

now difference is 132.

difference means larger number-smaller number.

so, Y-X=132

10K-4K=132

6K=132

K=22

now substitute value of K ,then

Y=10K=10*(22)=220 and X=4*(22)=88

therefore the numbers are Y=220 and X=88
