Question

If the smaller of two numbers is one-half of the larger number and the sum of the two numbers is 75

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the larger number=n

then the smaller number=½n

We conclude from the question that

n+½n=75

3/2n=75

3n=150

n=150/3=50

Therefore the larger number=50 and the smaller number=½×50=25
