Question

the ratio of two numbers is 3:8 and their difference is 115 .then the smaller of the two numbers is???

Answer 1

Hey!!
Thanks for your question!!
Here is the answer..

✔️ Ratio of the numbers = 3 : 8.
Therefore,
Let the numbers be 3x and 8x.

✔️ Let the common multiple be"x".

✔️ Given,

8x - 3x = 115

5x = 115

x = 23

Therefore,
8x = 8 × 23 = 184

3x = 3 × 23 = 69

184 > 69.

✔️ Therefore,
Smaller number =  69...

✔️ This is the answer.
I hope my answer helped!!

_____________________________

let us take the numbers as 3x and 8x

=> 8x-3x = 115

=> 5x = 115

=> x = 23

so, 3x = 3×23= 69

8x = 8×23 = 184

therefore the smallest number is 69
