Question

The sum of 2 number is 2904 and their quotient is 3/2

Answer 1

Answer :

a=1742.4 ,

b = 1161.6

Explanation :

Let a , b are two numbers .

According to the problem given,

a+b=2904 ---( 1 )

a/b = 3/2

=> a = 3b/2 ---( 2 )

Substitute a = 3b/2 in equation

(1) , we get

(3b/2 ) + b = 2904

=> (3b+2b)/2 = 2904

=> 5b/2 = 2904

=> b = (2904 × 2)/5

=> b = 1161.6

Now ,

put b = 1161.6 in equation (1),

we get

a + 1161.6 = 2904

=> a = 2904 - 1161.6

=> a = 1742.4

Therefore,

a=1742.4 ,

b = 1161.6
