Answer 1

Ratio = 3 : 2

Define x:

Let x be the constant ratio

Ratio = 3x : 2x

Given that the difference is 15

3x - 2x = 15

x = 15

Find the numbers:

one number = 2x = 2(15) = 30

the other number = 3x = 4(15) = 45

Answer: The numbers are 30 and 45

Answer 2

Given:

Difference of the two numbers is 15

Ratio = 3 : 2

To find:

The required numbers

Solution:

It is given that the difference of two numbers is 15 and their ratio is 3:2

Let the ratio = 3x : 2x

According to the given question:

=> 3x - 2x = 15

=> X = 15

Finding the numbers :

=> 3x = 3(15) = 45

=> 2x = 2(15) = 30 .

Hence, The numbers are 45 and 30
