Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 6 : 7. If their sum is 91 , find the numbers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio 6:7 be 6x and 7x

So,

6x + 7x = 91

13x = 91

x = 91/13

x = 7

So the value of 6x and 7x is :

6x = 6 × 7 = 42

7x = 7 × 7 = 49

Answer 2

As per the details provided in the above question.

The given data is, Sum of number is 91.

The ratio of two number that is 6:7

We have to find the number s.

Tus, let us consider the ratio as 6x and 7x,

So the sum is,

$6x + 7x = 91 \\ 13x = 91 \\ x = 7$

Therefore the numbers are as follows,

6 ratio is

$6x = 6 \times 7 = 42$

7 ratio is

$7x = 7 \times 7 = 49$

Hence the two numbers are 42and 49.
