The numbers : 1 \frac{1}{4}, 13 \frac{3}{4}

解答ステップ

Represent the numbers in ratio 1:11 with

x

x

11 x

Write an equation for the sum:

x + 11 x = 15

x

を解く

x + 11 x = 15 : x = \frac{5}{4}

x = \frac{5}{4}

11 x = 11 \cdot \frac{5}{4} = \frac{55}{4}

仮分数を帯分数に変換する:

\frac{5}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4}

仮分数を帯分数に変換する:

\frac{55}{4} = 13 \frac{3}{4}

The numbers : 1 \frac{1}{4}, 13 \frac{3}{4}
