Answer 2

Answer:

The Numbers are 300 and 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sum of the two numbers = 480

Ratio of the numbers = 5 : 3

To find :

The two numbers

Solution :

Let the numbers be -

• One as 5x
• Second Number as 3x

$\longrightarrow$ 5x + 3x = 480

$\longrightarrow$ 8x = 480

$\longrightarrow$ x = 480/8

$\longrightarrow$ x = 60

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Value of the 5x

$\longrightarrow$ 5(60)

$\longrightarrow$ 300

One Number is 300

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Value of 3x

$\longrightarrow$ 3(60)

$\longrightarrow$ 180

Second Number is 180

$\therefore$ The Numbers are 300 and 180.
