Question

The difference between two whole number is 9 and the ratio between them is 2:5. Finf the numbers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio between numbers = 2/5

let the numbers be 2x and 5x

difference between numbers = 9

=> 5x-2x=9

=> 3x=9

=> x=3

therefore numbers are 2×3= 6 and 5×3 = 15

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\blue{Answer:}$

Whole numbers:

• A whole number is a positive integer or without fraction.
• For example : 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 etc.

Given:

• Two whole numbers
• Difference between numbers = 9
• Numbers are in ratio = 2:5

To Find:

• Two Whole numbers which satisfies the given underlying condition

Solution:

Since numbers are in ratio 2:5

Let the numbers be

N1 = 2x

N2 = 5x

According to the Given Question

Difference in numbers = 9

N2 - N1 = 9

5x - 2x = 9

3x = 9

x = 3

Hence the value of x comes out to be 3

Putting value of x in N1 and N2

N1 = 2x = 2.( 3 ) = 6

N2 = 5x = 5.( 3 ) = 15

Therefore the two whole numbers are 15 and 6.
