Answer 1

Answer :

• The numbers are 64 and 40

Given :

• A number is 5/8 times another number. If their sum is 104.

To find :

• The number

Solution :

• Let the number be x

Given,

• A number is 5/8 times another number so,

• Let the second number be 5x / 8

And also Given

• Sum is 104

Substituting the value :

↦ x + 5x/8 = 104

↦ 8x + 5x / 8 = 104

↦ 13x = 104 × 8

↦ x = 104 × 8 / 13

↦ x = 8 × 8

↦ x = 64

Finding the number :

↦ First number = x = 64

↦ Second number = 5/8 × 64 = 5 × 8 = 40

Hence , The numbers are 64 and 40.

Verification :

↦ x + 5x/8 = 104

↦ 64 + 5(64)/8 = 104

↦ 64 + 320/8 = 104

↦ 64 + 40 = 104

↦ 104 = 104

Hence, Verified
