Question

If the four numbers are in the ratio 2:3:7:4 and their sum is 48, then find these four

numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

ratio=2:3:7:4

let the ratio be = 2x:3x:7x:4x

sum of the ratio=2x+3x+7x+4x=16x

the sum of four numbers =48

therefore 2x=2/16×48=6

3x=3/16×28=9

7x=7/16×48=21

4x=4/16×48=12

therefore the four numbers are 6,9,21,12
