Answer» Let the smaller number = xlarger number = x+1 According to question, x/4 - (x+1)/5 = 1 {5x - 4(x+1)}/20 = 1 5x - 4x - 4 = 20×1 x - 4 = 20 x = 4+20 = 24 smaller number= 24larger number = 24+1 = 25

Answer»

Let the smaller number = xlarger number = x+1

According to question,

x/4 - (x+1)/5 = 1

{5x - 4(x+1)}/20 = 1

5x - 4x - 4 = 20×1

x - 4 = 20

x = 4+20 = 24

smaller number= 24larger number = 24+1 = 25
