Question

The number are the ratio of 7 ratio 5if the sum of number is 240 find the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 7x and 5x

Sum of the numbers= 240

A/C

7x + 5x = 240

12x = 240

x = 240

12 { dividing 240 by 12 gives us 20 (12×20 = 240)}

x = 20

Now, 1st number = 7x

= 7 × 20 { as we had kept the ratio 7x and the value of x is 20 so we will multiply them}

= 140

2nd number = 5x

= 5 × 20{as we had kept the ratio 5x and the value of x is 20 so we will multiply them}

= 100

Hope it helps
