Question

Q9. Three numbers are in the ratio 4:5:6. If the sum of the largest and the smallest equals to the sum
of the third and 55 find the numbers.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 4x , 5x and 6x.

According to your question -

4x + 6x = 5x + 55.

Now that we have formed the equation, we can easily solve it.

10x = 5x +55

Transferring 5x to the other side

10x - 5x=55

5x=55

x=11

Therefore, the solution of this question is x=11.
