Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 4:7.If the larger number is 63,find smaller number.

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let a ,b are two numbers ,

a < b,

a : b = 4 : 7

Sum of the ratio = 4 + 7 = 11

According to the problem ,

7 parts = 63

1 part = 63 / 7 = 9

Therefore ,

Smaller number = a = 4 parts

a = 4 × 9 = 36

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

7 part of a number is 63,

Let the part/number be X

So, we know that 7x=63,

Then X = 63/7 which is 9

X =9

Therefore 4 part of the number is 4 × 9 = 36.
