Answer:
45 and 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Two numbers are in the ratio 5:3 and they differ by 18.
Assume that the first number is 5x and second number is 3x. Also, 5x is bigger number as compared to 3x.
As per given condition,
→ Bigger number - Smaller number = 18
Substitute the known values,
→ 5x - 3x = 18
→ 2x = 18
Divide by 2 on both sides,
→ 2x/2 = 18/2
→ x = 9
Therefore,
- first number = 5x = 5(9) = 45
- second number = 3(9) = 27
Hence, the numbers are 45 and 27.
