Question

Tow Number are in the ratio 8:3 if the Sum of the numbers is 143, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

8x=8(13)=104 and 3x=3(3)=39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two numbers are in the ratio 8:3

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

Here the ratio of two numbers is given to be 8:3

Also, the sum of numbers is 143

We have to find the numbers

Let the numbers be 8x and 3x

So, 8x + 3x = 143

              11x = 143

                x = 143/11

                x = 13

So, 8x = 8 × 13

          = 104

3x = 3 × 13

    = 39

Hence, the two numbers will be 104 and 39
