If 5 of a number is equal to 6 of another number, then the ratio of the numbers is:

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this may help you

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

x:y = 5:6, or

6x = 5y …(1)

2x+8 = 3y-12, or

2x = 3y-20, or

6x = 9y-60 …(2)

Equate (1) and (2)

6x = 5y = 9y-60, or

4y = 60, or

y = 15 and so x = 75/6 = 12.5

Check: 12.5+4 = 16.5 and 15–4 = 11, so ratio of 16.5:11 = 3:2. Correct.

Answer 2

Given; that 5 of a number is equal to 6 of another number

To Find; 5 of a number is equal to 6 of another number, then the ratio of the numbers is

Solution; This question can be easily solved by letting the numbers x and y.Then solving according to the question statement we get the ratio

5x=6y

x/y=6/5

Hence the ratio of numbers is 6:5
