Question

if two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 3 if they differ by 18 what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no be x.

no 1 .= 5x

no 2. = 3x

according to the question :-

5x - 3x = 18

2x = 18

x = 18 / 2

x = 9

no 1. = 5× 9 = 45

no 2.= 3× 9 = 27

Answer 2

Given:-

• Ratio of numbers 5 : 3 & they differ by 18.

To Find:-

• The numbers

Solution :-

• Let us assume the numbers to be 5x and 3x.

According to the question :-

→5x - 3x = 18

→ 2x = 18

→x = 18 / 2

→ x = 9

Now, calculating the value of the first number in the ratio:

= 5x

= 5 x 9

= 45

• Hence, the first number is 45.

Again,calculating the value of the second number in the ratio:

= 3x

= 3 x 9

= 27

• Hence, the second number is 27.
