Question

Two numbers are in ratio of 3 : 4.If their sum is 133 ,find the number. Help

Answer 1

57 and 76

Explanation:

Given the ratios are 3 : 4 = 3x : 4x, then

3x + 4x = 133

7x = 133 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 19

The numbers are

3 × 19 = 57 and 4 × 19 = 76

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be 3x and 4x

sum =3x + 4x = 7x

7x = 133

x= 19

the numbers are :

3(19) = 57

4(19) = 76
