Answer:
The larger number is 98
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b
a/b= 2/4
4a = 2b ------- 1
a + b = 147 -----2
a= 147 - b -------3
Substitute equation 3 into 1
4(147 -b) = 2b
588 - 4b = 2b
588= 2b + 4b
588 = 6b
b= 588/6
b= 98
Substituting b= 98 into 1
4a = 2(98)
4a = 196
a= 49
The larger number is 98
