Question

Tow no. are in the ratio 4:5 and their sum is 180 . Find the no.

Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the ratio be denoted as 4x : 5x, where x denotes the common ratio

=> Their sum is 180. [ Given in the Question ]

=> 4x + 5x = 180

=> 9x = 180

=> x = 180 / 9 = 20

So the common ratio ( x ) is 20.

=> 4x = 4 × 20 = 80

=> 5x = 5 × 20 = 100

Hence the two numbers are 80 and 100.

Hope it helped !
