Question

half of one number is one third of another .the sum of the two numbers is 95.what are the two numbers ?​

Answer 1

$\boxed{\bf{\blue{\bigstar Answer:}}}$

• Suppose one number is x and other is y
• Given: x = y/3 or y = x/3
• x+y = 95
• y/3 + y = 95
• 4y = 285
• y = 71.25 and x = 23.75
• Using y = x/3
• x + x/3 = 95
• 4x = 285
• x = 71.25 and y = 23.75

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

It seems you are using a number system with at least 6 digits. Let us assume the numbers are in base nn.

We try to solve.

x∗y=15nx∗y=15n

x=5nx=5n

Let us rewrite this (in base 1010):

x∗y=n+5x∗y=n+5

x=5x=5

Now it is easy to obtain the result:

5y=n+55y=n+5

⇒y=n5+1,n≥6⇒y=n5+1,n≥6

Assuming you are using base 66: y=2.2y=2.2

Assuming you are using base 77: y=2.4y=2.4

Assuming you are using base 88: y=2.6y=2.6

Assuming you are using base 99: y=2.8y=2.8

Assuming you are using base 1010: y=3.0y=3.0

Assuming you are using base 1111: y=3.2y=3.2

Assuming you are using base 1212: y=3.4y=3.4

Assuming you are using base 1313: y=3.6y=3.6
