Question

2. The sum of two numbers is 65, and the two numbers are in the ratio 6:7. Find the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

6x+7x=65

13x=65

x=65/13

x=5

6x=6*5=30

7x=7*5=35

so, the numbers are 30 and 35

Answer 2

The numbers are 30 and 35

Explanation:

Given:

1. The sum of two numbers is 65

2. The two numbers are in the ratio 6:7

To find:

The numbers

Solution:

==> The numbers are a and b

==> The ratio of the numbers = 6:7

==> a = 6x

==> b = 7x

==> Sum of the number = 65

==> 6x+7x = 65

==> 13x = 65

==> x = 65÷13

==> x = 5

==> a = 6x

==> a = 6(5)

==> a = 30

==> b =7x

==> b = 7(5)

==> b = 35

==> a+b =65

==> 30 + 35 = 65

==> 65 = 65

==> The numbers are 30 and 35
