Question

sum of two numbers is 45 and their ratio is 7:8. what are the two numbers

Answer 1

Heya ☺

Given that

Sum of two numbers = 45

Ratio of the number = 7:8

Solution

Let the numbers be 7x and 8x. Then,

according to question,

7x + 8x = 45

=> 15x = 45

=> x = 45/15

=> x = 3

Hence , the 1st number = 7 × 3 = 21

and the 2nd number = 8 × 3 = 24



Thanks
