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 integers are 60 and 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are x and 3x.

ATQ: 3x-x = 40

2x = 40

x = 40/2 = 20

3x= 3×20= 60

Answer 2

Answer:

The integers are 20, 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of two positive integers = 1:3

Let the two positive integers = x, 3x

Difference between two positive integers = 40

3x - x = 40

2x = 40

x = 20

Therefore, the two positive integers = x = 20

= 3x = 60
