Answer 2

GIven,

• One number is six times the other
• Their sum is 147

To find,

The number

Solution,

Let us assume that one number = x

Then, we can say that the other number = 6x

Since the sum of the two numbers = 147

So, x + 6x = 147

So, x = 147/7 = 21

Hence, the number is 21, and the other number is 126.  126 is six times the of 21 and their total is 147.
