Question

two numbers are in the ratio 7 by 10 if the larger number is 140 what is the smaller number

Answer 1

Ratio of the two numbers = 7:10

Larger number = 140

Other Number =?

Let smaller number be = 7x and larger number be = 10x

ATQ- 10x = 140

so x = 140/10 = 14

As x = 14 so the smaller number that is 7x = 7*14 = 98 ← ans.

Answer 2

Let the unknown number be x

7:10 = x:140

7/10=x/140

7*140/10=x

X=7*14

x=98

Hope this was the answer you expected!!!!
