There is a very simple way of solving this type of problem:
Call the sum S and the difference D, then the two numbers A and B, are:
A = (S - D)/2 and B = A + D
In this case S = 420 and D = 28 so (S - D)/2 = 392/2 ie A = 196 and B is 196 + 28 ie 224

Is 23.67 cm greater than 237 cm?
Since the units are the same, look at the numbers. The larger numbers is the larger measurement. If you have trouble with that, the number with more digits (before the decimal point) is the larger number.
The difference of two numbers is 75. The larger number is three less than four times the smaller number. Find the numbers.?

Why is a negative number less than a positive number?
A negative number is defined as a number that is less than zero. Positive numbers, on the other hand, are more than zero. You can see that positive numbers are greater than negative numbers because they are all above zero, which negative numbers are not.
Babs is thinking of two numbers one number is 7 more than the other number the product of the numbers os 60 what are the numbers?
The numbers are 5 and 12
Is There fewer rational numbers than irrational numbers.?
Yes. The infinity of rational numbers has the same size as the natural numbers, said to be "countable". The infinity of real numbers (and therefore, also of irrational numbers) is a larger infinity, said to be "uncountable".
Is 6 a larger number or a small number?
6 is an larger number if it is dealing with math.... other than that no numbers is larger than 10...
Why is it not possible for a negative number to be larger than a positive number?
because numbers on the are bigger than the numbers on the left in number line
What is bigger 0.00000000335640952 or 0.000000003?
The number 0.00000000335640952 is bigger. In fact any number with numbers other than zero following 0.000000003 would be larger than it.
When is the product of three integers larger than either of them?
"Either" is used for two. I'll assume that you mean "larger than ANY of them". The following applies to ANY real numbers.For TWO numbers, the product is larger than either of them if both numbers are greater than one. For THREE numbers, the product is larger than any of them if the two numbers OTHER than the largest number have a product greater than one. For example: 0.5, 3, 5 The largest number here is 5; the product of the OTHER two is 0.5 x 3 = 1.5. Or here is an example with integers: -5, -3, 10 The product of the "other two" numbers is 15, which is larger than one - so the product of all three is larger than the largest number (and therefore, larger than ANY of them). Another example: -5, 1, 10 The product of the two numbers OTHER than the largest is -5 x 1 = -5; since this is NOT greater than 1, the product of all three is NOT greater than any of the numbers. This reasoning can be extended to four or more numbers. For 4 numbers: If the product of all three numbers OTHER than the largest one is GREATER than one, then the product of ALL FOUR numbers is greater than ANY of them.
What is larger prime number than 100?
There are a lot of prime numbers larger than 100, one of them is 101. in fact, there is thought to be an infiniate number of prime numbers that exist
What are two mathods of comparing numbers?
One option for comparing two numbers is to subtract the first number from the second number. If the result is less than zero, the first number is larger. If the result is greater than zero, the second number is larger. If the result is zero, the numbers are equal. Another option (for positive numbers) would be to divide the first number by the second number. If the result is greater than one, the first number is larger. If the result is less than one, the second number is larger. If the result is one, the numbers are equal. This rule flips if you are comparing negative numbers.
What number is not greater than 64?
I don't know how to "grate" a number ... numbers are not cheese. An infinite number of numbers are "greater" (larger) than 64. Likewise, an infinite number of numbers are not "greater" (in other words, less than) 64, starting with 63, 62, 61, ... Actually, there are an infinite numbers that are less than 64, but greater than 63, unless you specify "whole numbers".
The sum of two numbers is The smaller number is less than the larger number What are the numbers?
Hmmm. Let me see now ... "The smaller number is less than the larger number", eh ? I'm going to have to think that over carefully.

Which one is greater 8.6 8.09 or 8.35 and why?
8.6 is the larger number in this selection, because the number in the tenths place is bigger than in the other two numbers.
