Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1x-3x=40

2x=40

x=40÷2

x=20

1×20=20

3×20=60

60-20=40

Answer 2

Answer:

20 and 60 are the numbers

I will tell you how it comes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The difference between the numbers is 40

And the ratio is 1:3.

Let the numbers be x, 3x (depending upon the ratio of the numbers)

difference between two numbers = 40

$3x - x = 40$

$2x = 40$

$x = 20$

Therefore the numbers are

$x = 20$

$3x = 3(20) = 60$
