Question

The sum of 2 numbers is 60. One number is four times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

The two numbers are 12 and for sure 48

Answer 2

We will let the smaller of the two numbers be x

Then, the larger number will be 4x

Then we can use this info to solve for x:

x+4x=60

5x=60

x=12

4x=4*12

4x=48

The two numbers are 12 and 48!!! :)
