Question

the differenc between two whole number is 44 the ratio of the two numbers is 3:5 what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x,y

difference

x-y=44

Ratio

x/y=3/5

5x=3y

x=3y/5

Sub in difference

3y/5-y=44

3y/5-5y/5=44

-2y/5=44

-2y=840

y=-420

sub it in difference

x-(-420)=44

Therefore X= 420-44=76

Answer 2

Answer:

132 and 176

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between them = 44

Ratio of numbers = 3:5

Let the comman factor be x.

No. 1 = 3x

No. 2 = 4x

Equation -

4x - 3x = 44

x = 44

Therefore,

No. 1 = 3*44

        = 132

No. 2 = 4*44

         = 176
