Question

the difference between two number is 50.the ratio of two number is 3:5 what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the two numbers are 75 & 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Ratio 3:5 ( 3x,5x)

So the difference between two numbers is 50

5x-3x = 50

2x = 50

X= 25

First number = 3x = 3(25) = 75

Second number = 5x = 5(25) = 125

Answer 2

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number and y be the second number.

Given,

x-y =50

So, y= x-50

Given, (x-50)/ x = 3/5

So, 5x-250 = 3x

2x=250

x=125

The other number is 125

(x-50 is lesser than x)
