Answer 1

Answer:

the two numbers are 80 and 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Given,

y-x = 40.

=> x = y-40.

Also x:y = 2:3.

=> (y-40)/y = 2/3

=> 3y-120 = 2y

=> y = 120.

then, x = 40+ 120

= 80.

Answer 2

Given :-

Difference between two whole number = 40

Ratio of two numbers = 2 : 3

To Find :-

The first number.

The second number.

Analysis :-

Consider the common ratio as a variable.

Multiply the variable to each side given in the ratio.

Make an equation accordingly.

Get the value of the variable and substitute them in the sides.

Solution :-

Consider common ratio as 'x'. Then the numbers would be 2x and 3x.

Making an equation,

3x - 2x = 40

x = 40

The numbers would be,

2x = 2 × 40

= 80

3x = 3 × 40

= 120

Therefore, the two numbers are 80 and 120 respectively.
