Question

The ratio of the two numbers is 12:3. if the sum of them is 375, find the numbers​

Answer 1

let the common multiple be k

The numbers will be 12k and 3k.

By Given condition ,

12k+3k=375

15k=375

k=25

Now the numbers are

12k = 12×25= 300

12k = 12×25= 3003k = 3×25 = 75

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the two number be x and y

the ration is 12y / 3x

                 = 4y / x

so x = 4y

now x + y =375

x+4x =375

5x = 375

x = 375/5

x = 75

now y = 4 x 75

       y = 300
