Answer 1

Answer:

1st number is 21 and 2nd number is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

because 7x +8x= 15

45÷15=3

3×7= 21 first number

3×8= 24 second number

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\blue{Answer}$

Let the common ratio be x

as 7x and 8x

As the Question States sum of the numbers is 45

=> 7x + 8x = 45

=> 15x = 45

$= > x = \frac{45}{15}$

$= > x = 3$

So, x = 3

Putting the value of x in Ratios, we get:

$= > 7x = 7(3) = 21$

$= > 8x = 8(3) = 24$

Hence, the required answer is 21 & 24
