2 numbers are in ratio 2 is to 4 if their sun is 147 then what i the largest number?

Sagot :

Answer:

The larger number is 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b

a/b= 2/4

4a = 2b ------- 1

a + b = 147 -----2

a= 147 - b -------3

Substitute equation 3 into 1

4(147 -b) = 2b

588 - 4b = 2b

588= 2b + 4b

588 = 6b

b= 588/6

b= 98

Substituting b= 98 into 1

4a = 2(98)

4a = 196

a= 49

The larger number is 98
