Answer:
A certain number should be added to both parts of the ratio to get the actual numbers. Let's assume that the 'certain number' is x.
1st quantity = 5x (750)
2nd quantity = 3x
5x = 750
x = 750 ÷ 5
x = 150
Hence, 2nd number = 3x
= 3 × 150
= 450
The 2nd number is 450
Hope it helps

Answer:
let first quantity=5/8x=5x/8
second quantity=3x
given,
- 5x/8=750
- 5x=750×8
- 5x=6000
- x=6000/5
- x=1200
second quantity=3x=3×1200=3600
