Question

The difference between two positive integers is 30. The ratio of these integers is
2:5. Find the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

50 and 30 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

let the integers between x

5x-2x=30

3x=30

x=30/3=10

integers are

5*10=50

3*10=30

Answer 2

Given :-

Difference of two positive integers = 30

Ratio of these two integers = 2 : 5

To Find :-

The first integer.

The second integer.

Analysis :-

Consider the common ratio as a variable.

Make an equation accordingly.

Once you get the value of the variable, substitute it in the ratio of the present age given in the question.

Solution :-

Consider the common ratio as a x. Then the integers would be 2x and 5x.

Given that,

Difference of two positive integers = 30

Making an equation,

5x - 2x = 30

3x = 30

By transposing,

x = 30/3

x = 10

Finding the integers,

First integer = 2x

= 2 × 10 = 20

Second integer = 5x

=5 × 10 = 50

Therefore, the two integer are 50 and 20 respectively.
