Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 4:7.If their sum is 143, find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the numbers be 4x and 7x

Sum is 143


ATQ,

7x + 4x = 143

11x = 143

x = $\frac{143}{11}$

x = 13


1st number => 7x = 7 × 13 = 91

2nd number => 4x = 4 × 13 = 52

Answer 2

✨hey mate! here's your answer!✨

let the numbers be 4x and 7x.

then, according to the question,

4x + 7x = 143

=> 11x = 143

=> x = 143/11

=> x = 13.

hence, 4x = 4 × 13 = 52.

and, 7x = 7 × 13 = 91.
