Question

20. The difference between two whole numbers is 40 and their is ratios is 3:5. Find the numbers.
Explanation ​

Answer 1

guys this is continuesion..

x/y = 3/5

x= -60

y = -100

-60/-100 = -3/-5

reduce the fraction on the left with the GFC of 20

-20 × 3/ -20 × 5 = 3/5

Divide the away the -20's :

3/5 = 3/5

so x = -60 and y = -100

☺️ I hope it's helpful for you....

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 5x

According to the Question

Since these numbers are whole numbers as mentioned in the Question, thus they cant be -ve.

Thus,

5x - 3x = 40

2x = 40

x = 20

Thus, the numbers are

3(20) = 60

5(20) = 100

we can also check this,

LHS = 100 - 60 = 40

RHS = 40

Hence, LHS = RHS

Hope it helped and you understood it........All the best
