Answer:
The value Of x is 32.
The value of y is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the given question:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
x:y=8:7..(i) and x+y=60..(ii)
from (i) 7x=8y
x=8y÷7...put value of x in (ii) i.e.,
8y÷7+y÷1=60
taking LCM
(8y+7y)÷7=60
15y=420
y=28
Now, put this value of y in (i) i.e.,
x÷28=8÷7
x=(8×28)÷7
x=32.
Hence, we got the values of x and y as 32 and 28. To verify your answer, add the two values of x and y and if they are equal to 60. Then your answer is correct.
