Question

the sum of two numbers is 45 and their ratio is 7:8 find the numbers

Answer 1

Sum of the numbers=45
Ratio is 7:8
Let the no.be x
So,7x:8x
7x+8x=45
15x=45
X=45/15
X=3
So,7x=7*3=21
8x=8*3=24
So,the no. Are 21and24

Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers are 21 and 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• Sum of two numbers = 45
• Ratio of two number = 7 : 8

To find :

The two numbers.

Solution :

Let the numbers be 7x and 8x.

ATP :

⇒ 7x + 8x = 45

⇒ 15x = 45

⇒ x = 3

Hence,

• 7x = 21
• 8x = 24

Verification :

• 7x + 8x = 45
• 21 + 24 = 85
• 85 = 85
• L.H.S = R.H.S
