Answer:
A=16, B=28
Step-by-step explanation:
It's pretty much saying that the ratio of A to B is 4 to 7 so whatever A is it's divisible by 4 and whatever B is it's divisible by 7.
- first you want to add both numbers of the ratio together and you would get 4+7=11
- since the sum fo A+B=44 you want to divide 44 by 11 so 44/11=4
- To find A subtract 7 from 11 and multiply by 4: (11-7)x4=16
- to find B subtract 16 from 44: 44-16=28
- to check your work make sure that A is divisible by 4 and B is divisible by 7
- so 16/4=4 and 28/7=4
- It all checks out!
Have a great day!
