Question

The difference between two positive numbers is 40 and the ratio of these integers is 1:3. Find the integers

Answer 1

Answer:

The two positive integers are 20 and 60 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the non zero constant be x.

Then according to the ratio 1:3,

Let the first number be = 1x or x

And the second number be = 3x

ATP,

=>3x-x=40

=>2x=40

=>x=40/2

=>x=20

therefore, first positive integer= x= 20

Second positive integer= 3x= 3 x 20= 60

Answer 2

Let the 1st integer be = x
Let the 2nd integer be = 3x
Ratio = 1:3

So, according to the question,
3x - x = 40
2x = 40
Therefore, x = 40/2 = 20

Now, 1st integer = x = 20(ans)
2nd integer = 3x = 3 x 20 = 60(ans)

Now if we have to recheck our answer,
3x - x = 40
60 - 20 = 40

So, hence proved, our answer is correct!
