Question

These no are in the ratio 5: 3: If the differ by 18, what are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ratio be x

so the two numbers are: 5x and 3x

now, according to question

5x - 3x =18

2x =18

x= 9.

therefore the two numbers are:

5x= 5 x 9= 45

and

3x= 3 x 9 = 27

answer.

just in case you want to verify

45-27=18

Answer 2

Solution:-

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x....

The numbers are differ by 18

5x - 3x = 18

2x = 18

x = 18/2

x = 9

5x

= 5(9)

= 45

3x

= 3(9)

= 27

So, the two numbers are 45 and 27....
