Question

Divide the number 484 into two parts in a ratio of 7 : 4. How much bigger is the first number than the second number?

Answer 1

I don't known

Explanation:

Answer 2

132

Explanation:

First, obtain the total of the ratio:

7+4 = 11

Then, make equations:

`(7)/(11) =(x)/(484)` and
`(4)/(11) =(x)/(484)`

Next, solve:

11x = 7*484 → 11x = 3388 → x = 308

11x = 4*484 → 11x = 1936 → x = 176

Finally, find the difference:

308 - 176 = 132

(**If it is asking how many times bigger... 308/176 = 1.75 or
`(7)/(4)` )
