Question

a number is ⅝ times another number. if their sum is 104, find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 and 96.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

x=5/8y -- eq (1)        x+y=104 --eq (2)

from eq--(2) we get y=104-x

substituting y in eq--(1) we get

x=5/8(104-x)

on solving we get x=7.5

and y=96.5

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 64 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number is = 5/8 times of Another

Their sum = 104

To Find :

The Numbers

Solution :

Let the numbers be -

• One as x
• Second as (5/8)x

➠ x + (5/8)x = 104

➠ (8x + 5x)/8 = 104

➠ 13x/8 = 104

➠ 13x = 104 × 8

➠ 13x = 832

➠ x = 832/13

➠ x = 64

One Number = 64

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Second Number =

➠ 5/8 × 64

➠ 5 × 8

➠ 40

Second Number = 40

$\therefore$ The numbers are 64 and 40.
