One number is 60 more than another. If the larger number is divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 4. What are the numbers?​

80 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st no. be 'x'.

2nd no. should be 'x + 60'.

If the larger no.(x + 60) is divided by the smaller number(x), the quotient is 4.

=> (x + 60)/x = 4

=> x + 60 = 4x

=> 60=4x-x

=> 60=3x

=> 60/3 = x

=> 20 = x

No. are x = 20 and x+60 = 20+60= 80

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
