Question

two no.s are in ratio 5:8 if the sum of the no.s is 182 find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 70 and 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 5x:8x

Sum of these two numbers is 182.

5x+8x=182

13x=182

x=14

The first number= 5x=5(14)=70

The second number= 8x = 8(14) = 112

Answer 2

let the numbers be 5x and 8x

so the sum of numbers is 182

so 8x+5x= 182

or 13x = 182

or x= 14

so the numbers are 70 and 112
