Question

Find two numbers if their ratio is 9:11 and their difference is 6.
Answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

Given information: Ratio is 9:11

The difference between both is 6.

To find: The two number

Process: Let both the number be 9x, 11x since their ratio is 9:11

Assuming your expected answer to be positive (since we are dealing with ratios)

11x-9x (their difference) = 6

2x = 6 [dividing both sides by 2]

x= 3

Now that we know what the value of ‘x’ is, we can find both the numbers:-

Smaller number= 9x = 9 * 3= 27

Greater number = 11x = 11*3 = 33
