9.Two numbers are in the ratio

5 :3 if they differ by 18 what are the numbers.

Answer 2

Answer :-

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x

The two numbers are 5x and 3x

Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation

⇢5x – 3x = 18

⇢2x = 18

⇢x= 9

Therefore the two numbers are

⇢5x = 5 x 9 = 45

⇢and

⇢ 3x = 3 x 9 = 27

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27

so therefore our required answer are 45 and 27
