Question

6. The difference between two whole numbers is 48. The ratio of the two numbers is 5: 3. What are
the two numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

120,72

Step-by-step explanation:

consider numbers to be x and y

x-y=48

also given 5:3 ratio

so let x=5z and y=3z

then,

5z-3z=48

2z=48

z=24

x=5*24=120  y=3*24=72
