Question

Five times a number is equal to three times the second number. Find the ratio of five times the sum of the numbers and twice their difference​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y

5x=3y

5(x+y)/2(x-y)

5(3y/5+y)/2(5x/y-3)

=5(8y/5)/2(2y/3)

=8/(4/3)=6/1

Answer 2

Given; Five times a number is equal to three times the second number

To Find; Ratio of two numbers

Solution; It is given that Five times a number is equal to three times the second number

According to question

Let first number =x

Then another number =y

5x=3y

x=3y/5

Ratio= 5(x+y)/2(x-y)

Ratio = 5(8y/5)/2(-2y/5)

= 40y/-4y

=-10

Hence the ratio is -10
