Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x
The two numbers are 5x and 3x
Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation
5x – 3x = 18
2x = 18
x= 9
Therefore the two numbers are
5x = 5 x 9 = 45
and
3x = 3 x 9 = 27
∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the rational between numbers be x. As the numbers are in 5 : 3 ratio
Hence the numbers can be written as 5x and 3x
As per the statement the difference in these numbers is 18. Thus
5x-3x=18…Eq.1
Solving this equation
5x-3x=18
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9
Therefore rational x between the number is 9; Now calculate the numbers by putting the value of rational x.
5x means
5×9
=45
First number is 45
3x means
3×9
=27
Second number is 27
Answer the numbers are 45 and 27
Now check the correctness of answer by putting the value of x in Eq. 1
5x-3x=18
5×9–3×9=18
45–27=18
18=18
