Sagot :

Answer:  99 and 88

=========================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of the two numbers is 9 to 8, which we can write as shorthand into 9:8

Multiplying both parts by x gets us the ratio 9x:8x where x is nonzero.

The numbers 9x and 8x add up to 187, so,

9x+8x = 187

17x = 187

x = 187/17

x = 11

Which then means

  • 9x = 9*11 = 99
  • 8x = 8*11 = 88

are the two numbers. Note how 9x+8x = 99+88 = 187 to help confirm the answers. Furthermore, note how 99:88 reduces to 9:8 after dividing both parts by the GCF 11.

Answer:

99 and 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two number be 9x and 8x

Add together

9x+8x = 187

17x = 187

Divide by 17

17x/17 = 187/17

x = 11

The numbers are

9*11 = 99

and 8*11 = 88
