Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

First, obtain the total of the ratio:

7+4 = 11

Then, make equations:

$\frac{7}{11} =\frac{x}{484}$      and     $\frac{4}{11} =\frac{x}{484}$

Next, solve:

11x = 7*484   →    11x = 3388    →    x = 308

11x = 4*484   →    11x = 1936     →    x = 176

Finally, find the difference:

308 - 176 = 132

(**If it is asking how many times bigger... 308/176 = 1.75 or  $\frac{7}{4}$ )
