numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the proportional value be x

then the number is 2x and 3x

According to question

2x+3x=120

=5x=120

=x=24

hence, the

first no is 2x=2*24=48

second no=3x=3*24=72

Answer 2

Given: Sum of two numbers is $120$ and their ratio is $2:3$

To find: The numbers.

Solution:

Let us consider the numbers to be $2x$ and $3x$

It is said that the sum of the numbers is $=120$

According to the question,

$2x+3x=120$

⇒ $5x =120$

⇒ $x=\frac{120}{5}$

⇒ $x=24$

Therefore, the first number = $2x=2*24=48$

The second number $=3x=3*24=72$

Final answer:

Hence, the numbers are $48$ and $72$
