Answer:

12 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x then the other number is 4x ( 4 times larger )

the sum of the 2 numbers is 60, thus

x + 4x = 60

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

the 2 numbers are x = 12 and 4x = 4 × 12 = 48

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

We will let the smaller of the two numbers be x


Then, the larger number will be 4x


Then we can use this info to solve for x:


x+4x=60



5x=60


x=12


4x=4*12


4x=48


The two numbers are 12 and 48!!! :)
