Question

Iwo numbers are in the ratio 5:6. If 8 is subtracted from each.
The ratio becomes 4:5. Find the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers 40,48

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number 5x,6x

8 is subtracted from each number so the number become,5x-8,6x-8

the new ratio is 4:5

therefore

    5x-8/6x-8=4/5

cross multiplication then,

     25x-40=24x-32

      x=8

so the numbers are  5x=40

                                  6x=48
