Question

the ratio of two numbers is 5:11.if they differ by 132,find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let take 5x and 11x

= 11x - 5x = 132

= 6x = 132

x = 132/6

x = 22

now the number are 5* 22= 110

the second number are 11* 22 = 242

Answer 2

Answer:

First number 5x = 5×22 = 110

Second number =11x = 242

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio is 5:11. And the difference is 132.

So let's start by assuming the number to be 5x and 11x.

According to the question :

$\longrightarrow \: \sf{11x - 5x = 132}$

$\implies \: \sf{6x = 132}$

$\implies \: \sf{x = \dfrac{132}{6} }$

$\implies \: \sf{x = 22 }$

We earlier assumed that

• First number 5x = 5×22 = 110

• First number 5x = 5×22 = 110Second number =11x = 242
