Question

The sum of two number is 160 their ratio 5 ratio 7 find the number

Answer 1

Let one number be 5x

So, the other number be 7x

According to Question,

Sum of numbers = 160

⇒ 5x + 7x = 160

⇒ 12x = 160

⇒ x = 160 / 12

⇒ x = 40 / 3

One number = 5x = 5 × (40 / 3) = 200 / 3

Another number = 7x = 7 × (40 / 3) = 280 / 3

Hence, the two numbers are (200/3) and (280/3).

Hope it helps ツ

Answer 2

ratio of two numbers-: 5:7
let 1st number= 5x
let second number= 7x
sum of two numbers= 160
5x + 7x = 160
12x = 160
x = 160/12
x = 13.33
first number= 5*13.33
=66.66
second number= 7*13.33
=93.33
