Answer: The larger number is 11

Step-by-step explanation: You would want to start with the given which is 7 more than another and 63 being the ending number. So first you would want to subtract 7 from 63 (63-7=56), now you would have to figure out how to evaluate 56 out into 3 parts of a number and 4 parts of a larger number. That number would be 4, 4x3=12 subtract 12 from 56 (56-12=44), then you are left to divide 44 by 4, which gets you 11. Once you are finished with your math you would check that this is correct by seeing if the number split in 4 is larger than the number split in 3. As you can see 11 is a lot larger number than 4 is.
