The numbers whose sum is 60 and one, 4 times as large as the other are; 12 and 48.

According to the question;

  • the sum of two numbers is 60
  • one number is 4 times as large as the other.

Let the numbers be x and y.

Therefore;

  • x + y = 60 ................eqn(1)

  • y = 4x........................eqn(2)

By substituting 4x for y in equation 1;

we have ; x + 4x = 60

  • 5x = 60

  • x = 60/5

x = 12

  • y = 4 × 12

y = 48.
