Question

The two no are in ratio 8:3 if sum of them is 143 what are the no.?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so let the number be 8x and 3x

According to the question we can write as

8x+3x=143

Which implies 11x=143

Again by transpoing x=143/11

Therfore x=13

So the number are 8x=8(13)=104 and 3x=3(3)=39

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are:- 104 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

One number be x

And the other number be :- (143 - x)

Now,

X /(143 - x) = 8/3

=> 3x = 8( 143 - x)

=> 3x = 1144 - 8x

=> 3x + 8x = 1144

=> 11x = 1144

=> x = 1144/11

=> x = 104

Hence, one number is = 104

And the other number is = (143 - x)

= (143 - 104)

= 39
