Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 5x and 3x respectively, as their ratio is 5:3.

They differ by 18.

⇒ 5x - 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 9

⇒ 5x = 5(9) = 45

⇒ 3x = 3(9) = 27

Thus, the numbers are 45 and 27, which are in the ratio 5:3. If they differ by 18.
