Question

The sum of two numbers is 60 and their ratio
is 7:5. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

35 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let one be x and other be y

so x+y=60

and x/y=7/5

therefore 5x=7y

so multiply the first eq by 5

we get 5x+5y=300

therefore by substituting the 2nd eq

we get 12y=300

therefore y=25

therefore by putting the value of y in any of the above equations we get x= 35

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{Answer:}$

Given:

• We have been given that the sum of two numbers is 60.
• The ratio of numbers is 7:5.

To Find:

• We need to find the numbers.

Solution:

It is given that the sum of numbers is 60.

The given ratio is 7:5.

Let the numbers be 7x and 5x.

According to the question, we have

7x + 5x = 60

=> 12x = 60

=> x = 60/12

=> x = 5

Therefore, numbers are:

7x = 7 × 5 = 35

5x = 5 × 5 = 25

Verification:

35 + 25

= 60

Hence verified!

Therefore, the required numbers are 35 and 25.
