Question

the difference between 2 numbers is 45% of their sum find the ratio of the largest and smallest no​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be x,y such that x>y

=> x - y = 45/100 of (x+y)

=> 20x-20y = 9x+9y

=> 11x = 29y

=> x/y = 29/11

so, the ratio of the largest number to smallest number is 29:11

Answer 2

Answer:

THE ANSWER IS 29:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

x - y = 45/100 of (x + y)

20x - 20y = 9x + 9y

11x =29y

x÷y = 29÷11

x : y = 29 : 11
