Answer 1

let the numbers are.

1. 3x
2. x

according to question

3x+x = 16

4x = 16

x = 4

Answer 2

AnswEr:

$\bold{\underline{\sf{\red{\;\; Given:-\;\;}}}}$

The Ratio of two the numbers = 3 : 1

Let us Consider that the two numbers are 3x & 1x.

[Here, x is not equal to zero]

$\bold{\underline{\sf{According\; to \;Question\; Now,}}}$

$:\implies\sf\;3x + 1x = 16$

$:\implies\sf\; 4x = 16$

$:\implies\sf\; x = \dfrac{16}{4}$

$:\implies\large{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{x = 4}}}}}$

$\rule{150}3$

Finding Numbers:-

First Number = 3x

$:\implies\sf\; 3 \times 4$

$:\implies\large\boxed{\sf{\pink{12}}}$

Second Number = 1x

$:\implies\sf\;1 \times 4$

$:\implies\large\boxed{\sf{\pink{4}}}$

$\bold{\underline{\sf{\red{So, \; the\; Numbers\; are \; 12 \;and \; 4}}}}$
