Question

The difference between two whole number is 66 . the ratio of the two numbers 2:5 find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be '5x' and '2x'

the difference between these numbers is 66

5x - 2x = 66

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x = 22

the numbers are 5x = 5 × 22 = 110

and another number = 2x = 2 × 22 = 44

110 and 44 are the numbers

Answer 2

44 and 110

Step-by-step explanation:

difference is 66

and their ratio is 2:5

so the exact difference is actually 3 ( the gap 2 and 5 is 3)

but according to question its 66

so 3 parts =66

1 part= 22

so value of numbers are

2×22=44

5×22=110
