Question

4.Height of two buildings is in the ratio of 5:3. If the difference in their heights is
18 m, find the heights of the two buildings.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the buildings is 45m and 27m

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio in height of buildings 5:3

Let us consider their original heights as 'x'

Difference in heights = 18m

=> 5x - 3x =18

=> 2x = 18

=> x = 9

Therefore height of one building is 5x = 5(9) = 45m

                                 other building is 3x = 3(9) = 27m
