Question

20. The ratio between two numbers is 5: 9. Find the numbers, if their H.C.F. is 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

144 and 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider first number = 5x

Second number = 9x

We know that

HCF of 5x and 9x = x

So HCF = 16

Here x = 16

We get the required numbers 

5x = 5 × 16 = 80

9x = 9 × 16 = 144
