Question

Which pair of numbers has a sum of 20 and quotient of 4

Answer 1

Hi!

Let's use the guess and check method.

First, find numbers that when divided, equal 4, and are less than 20.

• 4/1 = 4
• 8/2 = 4
• 12/3 = 4
• 16/4 = 4

Now see if any of those pairs of numbers add up to 20.

• 4 + 1 = 5
• 8 + 2 = 10
• 12 + 3 = 15
• 16 + 4 = 20

The answer is 16 and 4.

Hope this helps! :)
