Question

the sum of two no is 350 and ratio is 3:2 find the smallest no​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let, the number be 3x and 2x
• Given that,
• 3x + 2x = 350
• 5x = 350
• x = 350/5 = 70
• So, the numbers = 3x = 3*70 = 210
• and 2x = 2*70 = 140
• Hence the smallest no. = 140
• Check,
• 210+140 = 350
• 350 = 350

Answer 2

3x + 2x = 350

5x = 350

x = 350/5

x = 70

The two numbers are:

3x = 3(70) = 210

2x = 2(70) = 140

THEREFORE, THE SMALLEST NUMBER IS 140 .
