Step-by-step explanation:

hello bro please mark me the BRAINLIEST

I'll tell u the answer step by step....

difference= subtraction

(let the common multiple be 'x')

hence, 5x-3x=44

2x=44

x=44/2

x=22

smaller number =3×x=3×22=66

Answer 2

Solution :

$\bf{\red{\underline{\underline{\bf{Given\::}}}}}$

The difference between two number is 44.The ratio of those number is 3:5.

$\bf{\red{\underline{\underline{\bf{To\:find\::}}}}}$

The smaller number.

$\bf{\red{\underline{\underline{\bf{Explanation\::}}}}}$

Let the ratio of number be r

So;

• 3r
• 5r

A/q

$\implies\sf{5r-3r=44}\\\\\implies\sf{2r=44}\\\\\implies\sf{r=\cancel{\dfrac{44}{2} }}\\\\\implies\sf{\pink{r=22}}$

Now;

The smallest number = 3r

The smallest number = 3(22)

The smallest number = 3 × 22 = 66
