Answer 1

Ratio: 2 : 7 (Given)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 1: For equation:

Their difference is 110

Let x be the constant ratio

7x - 2x = 110

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 2: Solve x:

7x - 2x = 110

5x = 110

x = 22

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 3: Find the numbers:

2x = 2(22) = 44

7x = 7(22) = 154

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 4: Find their sum:

2x + 7x = 44 + 154 = 198

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: The sum of the two number is 198
