Answer 2

Question

• The sum of two natural numbers is 5. The numbers are in a ratio 2:3 .Find the numbers.

Answer:

• The two natural numbers are 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

• Ration of nature numbers are 2:3
• The sum of two natural numbers is 5

What we have to calculate

• Find the two natural numbers ?

How to solve this type of question

• Assume a variable (unknown) eg.= x
• According to the given statement, setup the two equation in terms of x

Let as assume

• The numbers be x

Finding natural numbers

• In order to find natural numbers. we have to multiply with both the ratio

frist ratio

➛ 2 × x = 2x

second ratio

➛3 × x = 3x

Therefore the two natural numbers are 2x and 3x respectively

Forming an equation

• 2x + 3x = 5

Solving the above equation

Adding 2x and 3x

➨ 2x + 3x = 5

➨ 5x = 5

Transporting sides

➨5x = 5

➨ x = 5/5

Dividing 5 by 5 we get

➨ x = 1

Finding out natural numbers

Again give

• frist natural number be 2x
• value of x = 1

substitute the value of x

➨2x

➨2 ×1

➨2

Now we will find second numbers

Again

• second number number be 3x
• value of x = 1

substitute the value of x

➨3x

➨3 × 1

➨3

Therefore two natural numbers are 2 and 3
