Answer:

Since the ratio is  5:8 

So let the numbers be 5 x and 8 x.

and according to the question

Their sum Is 182.

So 5x+8x = 182.

13x = 182

which implies x = 182/13 = 14

and  hence the numbets are 5*(14) = 70 and 8*(14) = 112 .

i.e The numbers are 70 and 112

Step-by-step explanation:

THE NUMBERS ARE 70 and 112

STEPS FOR SOLVING :

LET THE TWO NUMBERS BE AS 5x and 8x

NOW,

5x + 8x = 182

13x = 182

x = 14

NOW WE KNOW THE VALUE OF X .

SO ,

5x = 5 \times 14 = 70

8x = 8 \times 14 = 112

SO THE NUMBERS ARE 70 AND 112
