Question

the sum of two numbers is 70.4 one of the numbers is 19 times the other. what are the two numbers.?

I need answer with solution.

Answer 1

Let one number be x then another be 19x
And according to question
X+19X =70.4
20x =70.4
x=70.4/20 =3.52
It means one no. Is 3.52 then another is 19 x =19×3.52=66.88

Verify
X+19x=70.4
20x =70.4
20×3.52 =70.4
70.4= 70.4. Proved

Answer 2

Concept:

Fraction is the numerical representation of the numbers i.e. in the form of Numerator and Denominator.

Given:

We have,

The sum of the two numbers is 70.4.

And,

One of the numbers is 19 times the other.

Find:

We are asked to find that what are the two numbers.

Solution:

So,

We have,

The sum of the two numbers is 70.4,

And,

One of the numbers is 19 times the other,

Now,

Let, One number = x

And

Another number = y

So,

According to the question,

The sum of the two numbers is 70.4,

i.e. x + y = 70.4

And,

One of the numbers is 19 times the other,

i.e.

x = 19y

So,

19y + y = 70.4

20y = 70.4

i.e.

y = 3.52

Now,

x = 19y = 19 × 3.52

i.e.

x = 66.88

Hence, the two numbers are 66.88 and 3.52.
