Question

the sum of two numbers is 42 and the ratio of two numbers is 8:13. find the numbers​

Answer 1

sum =42

Ratio =8:13

so let the number be x

so, it will be 8x and 13x

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

here is written the sum of two numbers

so ,

8x + 13x =42

x + x = 42 -13 -8

2x= 42 - 21

2x=21

x = 21/2

x = 15.5

so, 8x =8 * 15.5 = 124

so, 13x=13*15.5 = 201.5

so, 124 and 201.5 are your answer
