y
18. Solve ay​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

given ratio :- 5:3

therefore, let the bigger number be = 5x

let the smaller no. be = 3x

now, according to the Question,

=>5x-3x=18

=>2x=18

=>x=9

Now, bigger number =>5x=45

smaller number =>3x=27

HENCE DONE !!
