Question

the sum of two numbers is 28 and their ratio is 2 : 5. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the two numbers are 2x and 5x

By the problem,

2x+5x=28

7x=28

x=4

So, the two numbers are =2×4 and 5×4=8 and 20

Answer 2

Let the number be 2x and 5x respectively.

The sum of two number is 28.

Therefore,

2x + 5x = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Substituting the value of x in the two number 2x & 5x

2x = 2(4) = 8 and 5x = 5(4) = 20

Therefore, the two numbers are 8 and 20.
