Answer:

15:20

Step-by-step explanation:

3 plus 4 = 7 divide 35 = 5, 3:4 times 5 = 15:20

Answer:

If two numbers are in a 3:4 ratio, then there exists a constant of proportionality,k, such that 3k is one of the numbers and 4k is the other number. The sum is 35, so:

3k + 4k = 35

solve for k, then calculate 3k and 4k to find your two desired numbers.
