Question

the difference between two whole number is 66. the ratio of two number is 2:5 what are two number​

Answer 1

Answer:

44 and 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The difference between two whole numbers is 66 and the whole numbers are in the ratio of 2:5

Solution: Subtraction is usually smaller number subtracted from bigger number.

Let the two whole m=numbers be 2x and 5x.

so, 5x is bigger here.

Thus, 5x-2x=66, as the difference between these two numbers is 66.

Equating: On equating, we get:  

     3x=66

     x=66/3,

and we get x=22.

Substitution: We took the whole numbers to be 2x and 5x, so on substituting the value of 'x' we get the numbers as:

2x= 2 * x= 2*22 = 44

and

5x= 5*x = 5*22 = 110

ANSWER: THE NUMBERS OBTAINED ARE 44 AND 110

HOPE IT HELPS YOU
