The fraction models below represent two fractions of the same whole. How much of the Fraction 3 over 8 is in the Fraction 1 over 4? Two rectangles of the same size are drawn side by side touching each other. The first rectangle is divided into 8 portions of equal size. Three of these are shaded. The shaded portion alone is labeled as 3 over 8. The second rectangle is divided into 4 portions of equal size. One portion is shaded. The shaded portion alone is labeled 1 over 4. Fraction 1 over 4 Fraction 1 over 3 Fraction 2 over 3 Fraction 3 over 4

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
