Question:
The sum of two numbers is 70.4. One of the numbers is 9 times the other. What are the two numbers?
Answer:
63.36 and 7.04
1st = X.
2nd. = 9x.
x+9x = 70.4
X = 7.04.
9x = 63.36.
Thank you so much Hello!
To find the two numbers, let's denote the smaller number as "x" and the larger number as "9x".
According to the information provided in the question, the sum of these two numbers is 70.4.
Hence, the equation can be set up as follows:
x + 9x = 70.4
Combining like terms, we have:
10x = 70.4
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 10:
x = 70.4 / 10
x = 7.04
So, the smaller number (x) is equal to 7.04.
To find the larger number, we can substitute the value of x back into the equation:
9x = 9 * 7.04
9x = 63.36
Therefore, the larger number (9x) is equal to 63.36.
In summary, the two numbers are 7.04 and 63.36.
