Question

the difference between two numbers is 80 .if the ratio of two numbers is 5:1 then find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

100 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers in the ratio 5 : 1 be 5x and 1x

Their difference = 80

According to the question,

5x - 1x = 80

=> 4x = 80

=> x = $\dfrac{80}{4}$

=> x = 20

1st number = 5x

=> 5 × 20

=> 100

2nd number = 1x

=>  1 × 20

=> 20

∴ The numbers are 100 and 20 respectively.

Answer 2

Answer :

The required numbers are 100 and 20.

Step - by - step explanation :

Let the required number be 5x and x respectively.

Given that, their difference is 80.

According to the question :

5x - x = 80

⇒ 4x = 80

⇒ x = 80 / 4

⇒ x = 20

Now, the required numbers are :

• 5x = 5 × 20 = 100

• 1x = 1 × 20 = 20

The required numbers are 100 and 20.
