Question

a number is 50 more than the other number. the fraction obtained by dividing the smaller number by the larger number is 2/3 . find the number

Answer 1

let one number be x. then another number is x+50.
according to given question
x/x+50=2/3
=3x=2x+100
x=100.

so one number is 100 & another number is 150.

Answer 2

Hi ,

Let the smaller number = x

Bigger number = x + 50

Fraction = x / ( x + 50 )

According to the problem given ,

x / ( x + 50 ) = 2/3

3x = 2(x + 50 )

3x = 2x + 100

3x - 2x = 100

x = 100

Therefore ,

Smaller number = x = 100

Larger number = x + 50

= 100 + 50

= 150

I hope this helps you.
