Question

A number is 5/8 times another number if their sum is 104 find the number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second number be X.

First number = (5/8) X

Given, X + (5/8) X = 104

(8X + 5X) / 8 = 104

13X = 104 x 8

X = 8 x 8 = 64

So, one number = 64

Another number = (5/8) x 64 = 40
