Question

The sum of two numbers is
55
. One number is
4
times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

see let no be "x"
so other no = 4x
x + 4x = 55
solve it

Answer 2

One number = x

????? = 55
4x + x = 55

Since one is 4 times larger, you must multiply that number (x) by 4

Answer 3

is it 13.75?

Answer 4

hmm how????
4x + x = 55
5x = 55
x = ?????

Answer 5

11

Answer 6

Check.

4x + x = 54

13.75*4 + 13.75 = 55

55 + 13.75 = 55

68.75 =/= 55

Answer 7

yup one no i.e x = 11
and other 4x = 4*11 = 44

Answer 8

Check

4x + x = 55

4*11 + 11= 55

44 + 11 = 55
55 = 55

Right!
