Question

2 numbers are in the ratio 5/8 and their difference is 12. Find the numbers
Can anyone please help me with this question​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the numbers are 20 and 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of numbers = 5 : 8

Their difference = 12

Thus, let the numbers be 5x and 8x.

Then, according to the question,

8x - 5x = 12

=> 3x = 12

=> x = 12/3 = 4

So, x = 4

Then, the numbers are :

5x = 5 × 4 = 20

8x = 8 × 4 = 32

Hence, the numbers are 20 and 32.
