According to the question,

The ratio of two numbers is 4:7.

Such that,

x : y = 4 : 7

➝ $\dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{4}{7}$

Let x be the smallest number

& y be the biggest number

• The smaller number is 24 .

x = 24

24 : y = 4 : 7

➝ $\dfrac{24}{y} = \dfrac{4}{7}$

➝ 24 × 7 = 4y

➝ 168 = 4y

➝ y = $\dfrac{168}{4}$

➝ y = 42
