Question

6.
The difference between two numbers is 33 and the ratio between them is 5:2. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

So the two numbers are 55 and 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be a and b

so given a-b=33 and a/b=5/2

so a=5b/2

Now a-b=33

so 5b/2-b=33

then 3b/2=33

then b=(33×2)/3=22

And a-b=33

so a-22=33

then a=33+22=55
