Answer:
The two numbers are 11/8 and 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown numbers be x and y
Given that the difference of two numbers is 13/24
x - y = 13/24
and that 11/12 of the reciprocal of one number is equal to 5/9 of the reciprocal of the other
11/12 * 1/x = 5/9 * 1/y
11/12x = 5/9y
cross multiply
12x * 5 = 11* 9y
60x = 99y
x = 99y/60
= 33y/20
substitute into x - y = 13/24
33y/20 - y = 13/24
13y/20 = 13/24
24y = 20
y = 20/24
= 5/6
x = 33y/20
= 33 *5/20*6
= 11/8
