Question

The sum of the two numbers is 72 and they are in ratio 5:3 . Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

(I think the given ratio in the question is wrong!)

x=60 ,  y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

From question,

x + y= 72---------(1)

Also,

x/y=5/3--------------(2)

From (2),

x=5y/3-----(3)

Put (3) in (1),

5y/3+ y =72

8y/3 = 72

Therefore,

y = 72*3/8 = 12

Put y = 12 in (1),

x + 12 =72

x = 60
