Answer 1

Answer:

The integers are 48 & 72

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3

3+2=5

5/120

24

2*24=48

3*24= 72

So first integers is 48 & second 72

Answer 2

Answer:

The integers are 48 and 72 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been asked to find the value of two integers whose sum is given as 120 and the numbers are in the ratio of 2:3

So in order to find the numbers we have to make a few assumptions.

let the first number be 2x

and the second number be 3x

so according to the question, we know that

⇒2x+3x=120

⇒5x=120

⇒x=$\frac{120}{5}$

⇒x=24

First number=2x

                 ⇒  2×24=48

second number=3x

               ⇒ 3×24=72

Hence the two positive integers are 48 and 72 respectively.
