Question

The sum of two numbers, one of which is two-thirds
of the other, is 45. Find the smaller number.​

Answer 1

Answer: 27 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x , and other number be 2x/3

Sum of the numbers = 45

SO, x + 2x/3 = 45

= LCM of 1,3 = 3

= (3x + 2x) / 3 = 45

= 5x/3 = 45

= 5x = 45*3

= x =  (45*3) / 5

= x = 27

Other no. = 2x/ 3  = 18
