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 and y

and x is greater than y. Then

x – y = 45% of (x + y)

x – y =

9/20

(x + y)

20x – 20y = 9x + 9y

20x – 9x = 20y + 9y

11x = 29y

x/y

=

29/11

or 29 : 11
