Question

A number is five times more than the other number. find the number if their sum is 48.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the two numbers be X

Let the other bumber be Y

Now according to given conditions

X = 5Y (eqn i )

And X+Y = 48 (eqn ii)

Hence = 5Y+Y = 48 (according to eqn i)

6Y=48

Y=48/6=8

X=5Y=5×8=40
