Question

the difference between the two numbers is 48 the ratio of the two numbers is 7:3. what are the two numbers? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

84 and 36 is the right answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x ,y

this means x+y=48

ratio is 7:3 means

x/y=7/3

3x=7y

x=7y/3

now substituting this in 1st equation , x+y=48

7y/3 + y=48

by LCM Method, 7y+3y/3=48

now by cross multiplication method

10y=144

y=14.4

since x=7y/3

x=7x14.4/3

x=33.6

hence found
