Question

the ratio of two numbers 3:4 and their hcf is 16
why do we take numbers as 3x and 4x please explain ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x.

Then, their HCF =x

So, x=4 .... given

So, the numbers are 3x=12 and 4x=16.

LCM of 12 and 16 is 48.

Answer 2

Answer:

aaa

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are taking 3x and 4x because

if we choose 3 and 4 then hcf is 1

which does not satisfy the answer

that is why we have to assume as multiple of x
