Answer 1

2:3
3+2=5
5/120
24
2*24=48
3*24=72

so first integer is 48 and second 72

Answer 2

Given,

• Sum of two positive integers = 120
• The ratio of the integers = 2:3

To find,

• We have to find the integers.

Solution,

The sum of two positive integers is 120 and the integers are in the ratio 2:3 then the integers are 48 and 72.

We can simply find the integers by using the given conditions,

Let the constant of the ratio be x

Then the integers are 2x and 3x

According to the given condition,

                   2x + 3x = 120

                           5x = 120

                             x = 120/5

                              x = 24

∴ The integers are 48 and 72.

Hence, the sum of two positive integers is 120 and the integers are in the ratio 2:3 then the integers are 48 and 72.
