Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:9 if the sum of the number is 112 then the lrger number is?

Answer 1

63

Explanation:

the numbers are in ratio 7 : 9 = 7x : 9x ( x is a multiplier )

given the sum of the numbers = 112 , then

7x + 9x = 112 , that is

16x = 112 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 7 , then

9x = 9 × 7 = 63 ← value of larger number
