Question

Two whole numbers whose sum is 153 cannot be in the ratio:

Answer 1

Answer:

the number can be in the ratio

Answer 2

Answer:

4:5 and 13:4 can be the ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Given Data,

Number of parts is 5x+4x = 9x

9x = 153  

x= 17 then 5x and 4x  

Step 2:  

ie. 5 x 17=85

4 x 17 = 68  

Therefore (a) can be the ratio.  

Similarly (b) and (d) can be the ratios.  

Then (c):  

Step 3:

13x+4x=17x

17 x = 153 and x=153/17 which is not a whole number since 153 is not divisible by 17.

c) 13: 4 cannot be in the ratio.

Step 4:

4:5 and 13:4 can be the ratio.
