Answer:
A ratio is a comparison of two or more numbers that indicates their sizes in relation to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be 5x
Therefore, the larger number will be 6x
Since the two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation as,
6x – 5x = 18
x = 18
Therefore, the two numbers are
5x = 5 x 18 = 90
6x = 6 x 18 = 108
∴ The two numbers are 90 and 108.
