Question

The ratio between two numbers is 11:9.If the sum of these numbers is 40 what is the product of the numbers?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

11x+9x=40    then x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

so their product would be 22x18  [substituting x=2 in 11x:9x]

though product =396

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:let the numbers be x and y

x/y=11/9(given) eq1

x+y=40(given) eq2

From eq1 9x=11y

That implies x=11/9(y) by substituting it in eq2 we get x=22 and y=18
