Answer 2

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the ratio of the two numbers is 7:9

Let the ratio be x

So, The numbers are 7x and 9x

Now we are given that the sum of the two numbers is 112

So, $7x+9x=112$

$16x=112$

$x=\frac{112}{16}$

$x=7$

So, $7x=7 \times 7 = 49$

$9x=9 \times 7 = 63$

Hence the larger number is 63
