Answer:
12 and 48
Step-by-step explanation:
let n be the larger number , then [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] n is the smaller number and their sum is
x + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x = 60 ( multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction )
4x + x = 240 , that is
5x = 240 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 48
smaller number = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × 48 = 12
The 2 numbers are 12 and 48
