Question

Two number are in a ratio 5:3. If they different by 18, what. are. the number.

Answer 1

let no.be x.

ratio of the numbers = 5:3.

so,

5x , 3x .

difference between numbers = 18.

so,

5x - 3x = 18.

2x = 18.

x = 18 ÷ 2.

x = 9

so,

5x = 5 × 9 = 45, and

3x = 3 × 9 = 27.

to check if our answer is correct then,

45 - 27 = 18.

hence our answer is correct......

hope it helps uh.........

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \mathbb \purple{ANSWER}$

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x.

As per the conditions, we get

5x – 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18 ÷ 2 [Transposing 2 from (×) to (÷)]

⇒ x = 9.

Thus, the required numbers are 5 × 9 = 45 and 3 × 9 = 27
