Answered by Steve
since 54 = 9*6,

7:9 = 7*6:9*6 = 42:54

S = smaller number.

L = larger number = 54

S / L = 7 / 9

S / 54 = 7 / 9

Cross multiply:

9 ∙ S = 54 ∙ 7

9 S = 378

Divide both sides by 9

S = 378 / 9

S = 42

Proof:

42 / 54 = 6 ∙ 7 / 6 ∙9 = 7 / 9

Let's assume the smaller number as x.

According to the given condition, the ratio of two numbers is 7:9.

Hence, x/54 = 7/9

Cross multiplying the equation, we get:

9x = 54 * 7

Solving the above equation, we get:

x = 378/9 = 42

Hence, the smaller number is 42.
