Answer 1

Given

The difference between two numbers is 44. The ratio of these numbers is 3:5.

Find out

Find the smaller number

Solution

★ Let the smaller number be 3x and larger number be 5x

According to the given condition

• Difference of these numbers is 44

→ 5x - 3x = 44

→ 2x = 44

→ x = 44/2

→ x = 22

Hence,

• Smaller number = 3x = 3 × 22 = 66

Answer 2

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio = 3:5 we can say 3x and 5x

so equation is :-

3x-5x =44

2x=44

x= 44/2

x=22

now ,

3x= 3×22 =66

5x=5×22 = 100

so ,the smallest no. is 3
