The difference between two whole numbers is 66 . the ratio of the two numbers is 2 ratio 5 what are the two numbers ?

Answer 1

✬ First Number = 44 ✬

✬ Second Number = 110 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The difference between two whole numbers is 66.
• Ratio of the two numbers is 2 : 5.

To Find:

• What are the two numbers ?

Solution: Let x be the common in given ratio. Therefore,

• First number = 2x
• Second number = 5x

A/q

➟ Difference is 66

$\implies{\rm }$ 5x – 2x = 66

$\implies{\rm }$ 3x = 66

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 66/3

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 22

So, First number = 2x = 2(22) = 44

Second number = 5x = 5(22) = 110

★ ChEck ★

➼ (Second Number – First Number) = 66

➼ ( 110 – 44 ) = 66

➼ 66 = 66 { LHS = RHS }

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the two numbers is 2:5.

First number = 2x and Second number = 5x

OR

Smaller number = 2x and Bigger number = 5x

A.T.Q.

5x - 2x = 66

3x = 66

x = 22

First number = 2*22 = 44 and Second number = 5*22 = 110

OR

Smaller number = 44 and Bigger number = 110
