If two adjacent angles have a total of 120 degrees and one angle is 5 times larger than the other, what is the size of the larger angle?
---------
5 times larger is an increase of 500%, which is 6 times as large.
==========
A = 1 angle
6A = the other angle.
------
A + 6A = 120
A = 120/7 degrees
6A = 720/7 degrees
