Step-by-step explanation:

72/9 = 8 . 8× 13 = 104

Answer 2

Answer:

Larger number will be 104.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the two numbers = 9 : 13

sum of ratios = 9 + 13 = 22

Let the larger number is x

sum of the numbers = x + 72

$so \: larger \: no \: = \frac{13}{22} \times (x + 72)$

$= > x = \frac{13(x + 72)}{22}$

$= > 22x = 13x + 936$

$= > 22x - 13x = 936$

$= > 9x = 936$

$= > x = \frac{936}{9}$

$= > x = 104$
