​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 44 and 110.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Difference between two numbers = 66.
• The ratio of the two numbers is 2:5.

Need to find:

• The two numbers

Explanation:

Let us consider the two numbers be 2x and 5x.

As given that,

Difference between the two numbers is 66.

Therefore,

According to question,

=> 5x-2x =66

=> 3x = 66

=> x = 22

Now, putting the value of 'x' in the considered numbers,

We get:

first no.= 2x

=> 2×22

=> 44

Second no. = 5x

=> 5×22

=> 110

Hence,the two numbers are 44 and 110.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathrm{SOLUTION:-}$

AnswEr:

• First Number = 44
• Second Number = 110

Given That:

• The ratio of two numbers is 2 : 5

RougH:

• 2 : 5 = 2/5 = 2x/5x

Need To Find:

• First Number = ?
• Second Number = ?

ExPlanation:

Let first number be 2x and second number be 5x.

Now, Given

• Difference between two numbers = 66

ThereFore:

➠ 5x - 2x = 66

➠ 3x = 66

➠ x = 66/3

➠ x = 22

Thus,

First Number = 2x

= 2 × 22

= ${\boxed{\sf\green{44}}}$

Second Number = 5x

= 5 × 22

= ${\boxed{\sf\green{ 110}}}$

• Hence, the First Number is 44 and the Second Number is 110.
