Answer 2

Answer: 21 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say, the ratio of the numbers is 7:1, and let's assume that the smaller number is "x"

So, 7:1 = 7x:x (1x is x),

and, we know that the difference between the numbers is 18.

So, 7x - 18 = x

or, 7x - x = 18 (Interchanging x and -18)

6x = 18

x = 18/6 = 3

7x = 7*3 = 21

So, 7x = 21 and x = 3.

There's your answer!
