Answer 1

Answer:32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

So, the second number will be 3x/2

A/Q

3x/2-x = 16

=3x-2x=32

Answer 2

It is given that the difference between the two numbers is 16

So, let the two numbers be x and y

So, x + y = 16 --------- (1)

Also, one number is 3 by 2 of the Other

so, let  $y = \frac{3}{2} x$

We have to find the greater number

we will put the value of 'y' in equation (1)

$x + \frac{3}{2} x=16\\\\\\\frac{5x}{2} = 16\\\\5x = 32\\x = \frac{32}{5}\\x= 6.4$

So, $y = 16 - 6.4$

        = 9.6

Therefore, the greater number will be 9.6 and smaller number will be 6.4
