Question

sum of two number is 15 and their ratio is 3:2 find the smallest number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 3x & 2x.

Given that:

3x - 2x = 15

x = 15

Therefore, the 2 numbers are :

3x = 3*15 = 45 &

2x = 2*15 = 30

Answer 2

$\huge\color{cyan}\boxed{\colorbox{black}{\sf{ANSWER ❤}}}$

The ratio of the two numbers — 3 : 2

Let the numbers be 3x and 2x respectively

Then their sum(3x + 2x) is 15 (Given)

$3x + 2x = 15$

$5x = 15$

$x = \frac{15}{5}$

$x = 3$

SO THE NUMBERS ARE :

$2x = 2 \times 3 = 6$

And,

$3x = 3 \times 3 = 9$
