Question

one number is four more than another. The quotient of the larger number divided by the smaller is 5/2

Answer 1

Let the smaller be x , therefore the largest will be (x + 4) 

x + 4/ x = 5/2 

Cross multiply 


2(x+4) = 5x 

2x + 8 = 5x 

8 = 3x 

Therefore x = 8/3 

The smaller number 8/3 and the larger number 20/3.

Answer 2

Let the smaller be x , therefore the largest will be (x + 4) 

x + 4/ x = 5/2 

Cross multiply 


2(x+4) = 5x 

2x + 8 = 5x 

8 = 3x 

Therefore x = 8/3 

The smaller number 8/3 and the larger number 20/3.
