Answers
- Two numbers are in the ratio 5:3.
- They differ by 18
- What are the numbers?
☀️ As per the given information, we can assume the required numbers according to the question and we can find them by forming an equation according to the given condition and after solving that equation we'll get the required answer.
~Let the numbers be ' 5x ' and ' 3x '
➟ 5x - 3x = 18
➟ 2x = 18
➟ x = 18/2
➟ x = 18 ÷ 2
➟ x = 9
Finding the numbers :-
» First number = 5x = 5 × 9 = 45
» Second number = 3x = 3 × 9 = 27
____________
Henceforth, the required numbers are 45 and 27.
Provided: Two numbers are in the ratio 5:3 & they differ by 18.
Need to find: The numbers.
