Question

what least numbers must be substrtacted from each of the numbers 7, 17, 47 so that the reminders are in continued proportions?​

Answer 1

Answer:

By merely looking at the three numbers, the minimum number to be subtracted from 17, 17 and 47 is 2, which makes the three numbers 15, 15 and 45 and the three resulting numbers are in continued proportion 1:1:3.

Answer 2

Let the number be 'x'

Then $\frac{7-x}{17-x} =\frac{17-x}{47-x}$

By cross multiplying and simplifying, we get;  x=2(answer)
