Question

The sum of two numbers is 100. The ratio of the two number is 2: 3. What are the two​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 60 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common integer be x

2x + 3x = 100

5x = 100

x = 100/5

x = 20

Now, the first number is 2x = 40 and the second no. is 3x = 60

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two numbers = 100

Ratio of the numbers = 2:3

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x respectively.

So , 2x + 3x = 100

or , 5x = 100

or , x = 100/5

or , x = 20

Hence , 2x = 2 × 20 = 40

And , 3x = 3 × 20 = 60
