Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and another number be (2x/5)

Now, According to the question:-

→ x + 2x/5 = 70

• Now, take LCM of 1 and 5 i.e 5.

So, x/1 × 5/5 = 5x/5 and 2x/5 × 1/1 = 2x/5

→ 5x/5 + 2x/5 = 70

→ (5x+2x)/5 = 70

→ 7x = 70 × 5

→ x = 350/7

→ x = 50

Now, the numbers are:-

• First number = x = 50

• Second number = 2x/5 = (2 × 50)/5 = 100/5 = 20

Therefore, the required numbers are 50 and 20.
