Answer 2

Answer:

Numbers in the ratio $2 : 3$ are $50$ and $75$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : missing numbers .

Given : 2 numbers are in ratio of 2:3 if the sum of number is 125 .

Solution :

• As per given data we know that two numbers are in ratio of $2:3$ if the sum of number is $125$ .
• Let , $2x$  and $3x$ be the two numbers .
• According to given condition we write as , $2x + 3x = 125$
• Transposition method we find the value of $x$ .

          $2x + 3x = 125 \\5x = 125 \\ x = 25$

• Now , substituting the value of $x$ to find original numbers,  

          $2x = 2\times 25 = 50\\3x = 3\times 25 = 75$
