Question

the difference between two positive number is 40 and the ratio of these integers is 1:3 find the ratio​

Answer 1

let the first integer be x

so the second integer will be 3x

according to the question

x+3x=40

4x=40

x=10

so the first integer is 10

so the second integer will be 30

difference= 30-10

=20 ANS

I HOPE IT HELPED (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Answer 2

Let the number =X

So,1:3=1x,3x

the difference between 1x and 3x =40

1x-3x=40

-2x=40.

X=40/2

X=20

So,X=20

1x=1×20=20

3x=3×20=60

therefore,the ratio =20,60
