Answer:
answer :18 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 5.
Let the rational between two numbers be x, therefore two numbers will be 3x and 5x
If each number is increased by 18, the ratio becomes 3 : 4.
(3x + 18) / (5x + 18) = 3 / 4
Cross multiplication
3 (5x + 18) = 4 (3x + 18)
15x + 54 = 12x + 72
15x - 12x = 72 - 54
3x = 18
x = 18 / 3
x = 6
The rational is 6
Therefore two numbers are 3x = 3 × 6 = 18 and 5x = 5 × 6 = 30
Answer the two numbers are 18 and 30
