Question
Two numbers are 30% and 60% more than a third number respectively. Find the ratio of the first two numbers.13:63:613:1630:6
Solution
Let's denote the third number as x.
- The first number is 30% more than x, so it's 1.3x.
- The second number is 60% more than x, so it's 1.6x.
To find the ratio of the first two numbers, we simply divide the first number by the second number:
1.3x / 1.6x = 0.8125
So, the ratio of the first two numbers is 0.8125:1 or approximately 13:16 when rounded to the nearest whole numbers.
