Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
If you take 1/1 and subtract it by 3/8 you will get the answer 5/8
So the 1 inch button is 5/8 longer than the 3/8 button.
Set up a proportion
2 x
— = —
25 700
700(2)= 25(x)
1400/25=x
x=56
Lets x and y are the two numbers
so
x+y = 72
x-y = 24
------------subtract
2x = 48
x = 24
x+y = 72
y = 72 - x
y = 72 - 24 = 48
answer
two numbers are 48 and 24
