Question

The difference between two whole numbers is 24. The ratio of the two numbers is 5:1. Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be propotionet to x.

1st number - 5x

2nd number - 1x

5x - x = 24

4x = 24

x = 24/4 = 6

Therefore, x = 6

1st number = 5x = 6*5 = 30

2nd number = x = 6

30-6=24

Hope it will help. :)

Answer 2

Hello, Buddy!!

ɢɪᴠᴇɴ:-

• Difference between two whole numbers is 24.
• Ratio of the two numbers is 5:1.

ᴛᴏ ꜰɪɴᴅ:-

• Value of two numbers.

ʀᴇQᴜɪʀᴇᴅ ꜱᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ:-

Let,

The numbers be 5x & 1x

According To Sum

→ 5x-x = 24

→ 4x = 24

→ x = 24/4

→ x = 6

• Value of x ☞ 6

By Substituting x = 6

→ 5x

→ 5(6)

→ 30

• Value of first number ☞ 30

→ 1x

→ 1(6)

→ 6

• Value of second number ☞ 6

ᐯEᖇIᖴY:-

→ 30:6 = 5:1

→ 5:1 = 5:1

→ LHS = RHS

→ 30-6 = 24

→ 24 = 24

→ LHS = RHS
