Answer:

48

Explanation:

You want the largest of two numbers in the ratio 4 : 1 that have a sum of 60.

The largest of the two numbers will be 4/(4+1) = 4/5 of their total.

(4/5)(60) = 48

The largest of the numbers is 48.

Additional comment

The smaller number is 12. So, you have 48:12 = 4:1, and 48+12=60.
