Question

The ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their sum 84 then the numbers are a) 36 and 48 b) 40 and 44 c) 46 and 38 d) 50 and 34​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now the sum of these two numbers is 40, As such

3x + 5x = 40

8x = 40

x =40/8= 5

Thus 3x = 3 × 5 = 15 and 5x = 5 × 5 = 25.

Therefore, the numbers are 15 and 25, and the larger of the two numbers is 25.

Answer: the larger of two number is 25

Let us check for correctness

The sum of two numbers is 40 . Two numbers have been calculated as 15 and 25. Let us take sum of these

15 + 25=40

Answer is correct

I hope it helped uu... Please mark me brainliest ☺️❤️..

Answer 2
