Question

Ratio of two numbers is 3:5 and the sum of number is 232 hence the bigger number is ......?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

x:y=3:5

x/y=3/5

5x=3y

5x-3y=0 _____(1)

x+y=232_____(2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 5,

5x + 5y=1160___(3)

Subtracting eq(3) from (2),

5x-3y=0

-5x+5y=1160

------------------

-8y=-1160

y=145

y is the begger no. as seen in the ratio
