Question

III. Two numbers are in the ratio 5:3. If
they differ by 18, what are the
numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

45:27

Step-by-step explanation:

(let us take x for 1 unit)

5x-3x=2x=18

2x=18

x=18/2=9

5x:3x= 9*5:9*3

        =45:27

therefore the numbers are 45 and 27

$\huge★{\underbrace{\tt\blue{Solution}}}$

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x.

The two numbers are 5x and 3x.

Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation

$\blue{━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━}$

5x – 3x = 18

2x = 18

x= 9

Therefore the two numbers are

5x = 5 x 9 = 45

3x = 3 x 9 = 27

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.
