Question

The difference between two positive numbers is 10 and the ratio between them is 5:3. What is the product of the two numbers?
​

Answer 1

Let the two positive numbers be 5x and 3x respectively

According to question,

5x - 3x = 10

Or, x = 5

Then numbers are 25 and 15

Thus, their product = 25 × 15 = 375

Answer 2

Answer:

5x-3x=10

2x=10

x= 5

5×5=25

3×5= 15

25:15

product of these numbers is 25×15= 375
