Question

EXERCISE 8B
1. Two numbers are in the ratio 8:3. If the sum of the numbers is 143, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two numbers are in the ratio 8:3

so let the number be 8x and 3x

According to the question we can write as 8x+3x=143

Which implies 11x=143

Again by transpoing x=143/11

Therfore x=13

So the number are 8x=8(13)=104 and 3x=3(3)=39

Answer 2

Answer:

104 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be 8x and 3x

8x+3x = 143

11x=143

x=13

So, 8x=13*8= 104

3x= 3*13=39
