Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratio be 2x,5x

5x-2x = 66

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x = 22

2x = 22×2=44

5x= 22×5=110

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
