Answer 2

$\underline{\bold{Given:}}$

● Ratio of two numbers=16:35

$\underline{\bold{To\:Find:}}$

The smaller number.

$\bold{Let\:the\:1st\:number\:be\:16x}$

$\bold{2nd\:number\:is\:35x}$

$\bold{according\:to\:the\:question}$

The larger number is 280.....

So....

$\implies\bold{35x = 280}$

$\implies\bold{x = \dfrac{280}{35}}$

$\implies\bold{x = 8}$

______________________________

therefore, the smaller number = 16x = 128.
