Question

One number is 19 larger than the other, and the sum of these numbers is 97. What is the larger number? Plz help asap

Answer 1

58

Explanation:

The smaller number (Number 1) has 1 unit.

The bigger number (Number 2) has 1 unit, and 19.

If you add 19 to the smaller number, you will make two of the bigger number.

This is equivalent to two of the bigger number. (Try to visualise it!)

Hence, divide it by 2 to get one of the bigger number.

Answer 2

58

Explanation:

I have attached an image with this answer that will help you to visualise this question. I will now explain it.

The smaller number (Number 1) has 1 unit.

The bigger number (Number 2) has 1 unit, and 19.

If you add 19 to the smaller number, you will make two of the bigger number.

`97+19=116`

This is equivalent to two of the bigger number. (Try to visualise it!)

Hence, divide it by 2 to get one of the bigger number.

`116/2=58`
