Question

Ratio 7:5 if the sum of the number is 144 find thenclosed NUMBER

Answer 1

Since it's a ratio both the numbers would have been divided by common factor. Let's assume that to be x

So the first number if 7x and the second number is 5x

It is given that their sum is 144.

So,

7x +5x = 144

12x = 144

X=12
