Question 1190212
<font color=black size=3>
x = smaller number
5x = larger number


The ratio of the two values is 
smaller/larger = (x)/(5x) = 1/5
Which shows that the smaller is 1/5 of the larger
Flipped around: the larger is 5 times that of the smaller


The difference in the numbers is 284
larger - smaller = 284
5x - x = 284
4x = 284
x = 284/4
x = 71
So,
5x = 5*71 = 355


Answer:
The numbers are 71 and 355
