Question

The difference between two hole number is 66 .the ratio of the two number is 2:5 find the two hole number

Answer 1

ratio=2:5
one of the numbers=2x
the other number=5x
5x-2x=66
3x=66
x=66/3
x=22
therefore one of the numbers=2x=2(22)
=44
the other number=5x=5(22)
=110
hope this helped

Answer 2

Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.

Lets suppose that first whole number is P.

Since difference between both whole number is 66,
So the other whole number,which is greater, is P+66.

But according to the question,

P/(66+P) = 2/5
=>(66+P)/P = 5/2
=> 66/P + 1 = 5/2
=> 66/P = 5/2 - 1
=> 66/P = 3/2
=> P = (2×66)/3
=> P = 44
So other whole number is 44+66 = 110.

So two whole numbers are 44 and 66.
