Question

The ratio of two numbers of 9:6. if there difference is 42,find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number are 9X and 6X

(As their ratio is given 9:6 )

Now their difference is 42

42 = 9X-6X =3X

X= 42/3 = 14

So, the 1st number is 9X = 9×14= 126

and 2nd number is 6X = 6×14 = 84 (Ans).

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 126 and 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 9x and 6x, because, see even when we take their ratio we get 9 : 6

9x : 6x,

x is a common factor

= 9 : 6

So, the numbers be 9x and 6x

Now, According to the Question,

9x - 6x = 42

3x = 42

x = 42/3

x = 14

Thus, the numbers are 9(14) = 126 and 6(14) = 84

They are 126 and 84

We can also check this,

189 : 126

Divide both by 14 we get,

9 : 6

also,

126 - 84 = 42

Thus, it is true

Hope it helped and you understood it........All the best
