Question

if two numbers are in the ratio 5:2and their sum is 91 . what are the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no be 5 x and 2 x respectively

according to the question

5x+2x = 91

7x= 91

x= 13

hence the no are 65 and 26

Answer 2

The two numbers are :

• The first number = 65.
• The second number = 26.

Given :

• The ratio of two numbers = 5 : 2.
• The sum of both numbers = 91.

To Find :

• The both numbers.

Solution :

Let,

The first number be 5x.

The second number be 2x.

According to the question,

The sum of both numbers is 91.

That means,

First number + Second number = 91

⇒ 5x + 2x = 91

⇒ 7x = 91

⇒ x = 91 / 7

⇒ x = 13

So, the two numbers are :

★ The first number.

⇒ 5x

⇒ 5 ( 13 )

⇒ 5 × 13

⇒ 65

★ The second number.

⇒ 2x

⇒ 2 ( 13 )

⇒ 2 × 13

⇒ 26

Hence,

The two numbers are 65 and 26.
