n= number; 1/2n=9+1/3n;(1/2n-1/3n)=9;
(3/6n)-(2/6n)=9;1/6n=9;n=54
The answer to the first riddle is 54
n and m are numbers; m is larger
m=1+5n;3m=11+5n;3+15n=11+5n;
10n=8;n=8/10=4/5
The smaller number is 4/5 and the larger number is 5 because m=1+5(4/5)=1+4=5
The answer to the second riddle is smaller number is 4/5 and larger number is 5
