Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number is =x

And the larger number is=Y

According to equation

X+Y =48 -------------(1)

And

X=1/5×Y

=>5X= Y -------------- (2)

Putting the value of Y in equation (1), we get

X+Y=48

=>X+5X=48

=>6X=48

=>X=8

NOW ,putting the value of X in the equation (2)-

5X=Y

=>5×8=Y

=>40=Y

Therefore,

The smaller number is =8

And the larger number is=40
