Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

the numbers are 110 and 44

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x,

5x-2x=66

3x=66

x=66/3=22

the numbers are,

5*22=110

2*22=44

Answer 2

Answer:

GIVEN -

• Difference b/t two no. is 66
• Ratio of two no. is 2:5

To FIND -

• The no.

SOLUTION

Let the ratiob be 2x and 5x

according to the question -

5x - 2x = 66

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x= 22

5x = 5 × 22 = 110

2x = 2 × 22 = 44

VERIFICATION

5x - 2x= 66

110 - 44= 66

66= 66

LHS = RHS

hence , proved

MORE TO KNOW -

• Whole no. - Numbers which is not in a fraction like 1, 2 ,3 , 4 etc.

• Prime no.- Numbers which has no factors except 1 and the no. itself is called prime no.

for ex.- 2 , 3 , 5 , 7

• Composite no.- Numbers which has atleast one factor except 1 and the no. itself is called composite no.

for ex - 4 , 6, 8

• Rational no.- All natural, whole, prime , composite no. are rational no.

A rational no. is one which can be written in the form of p/q where p and q are co- primes.

for ex- 2/1 , 2/3 , 5/8

• Irrational no.- Numbers which cannot be written in the form of p/q where p and q are co- primes are called irrational

for ex - root 2, root 3

• Real numbers - All rational and irrational together make up real numbers.
