Answer 1

Answer: given in attachment

Answer 2

Answer:

9*4 =36 and 9*5 =45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So the ratio of the two numbers will be 4x:5x

Given that, if 9 is subtracted from each ratio becomes 3:4

So, our equation will be

(4x-9)/(5x=9) = 3:4 =3/4

4(4x-9) =(5x-9) 3

16x-15x=36-27

X=9

So the answer = 9*4=36, 9*5=45
