Question

two number are in ratio 5:3.if they differ by 18.what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let two numbers which are in the ratio 5:3 are 5x and 3x respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between two numbers is 18.

Now

5x-3x=18

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

Then

5x=5(9)=45

3x=3(9)=27

Therefore,the two numbers are 45 and 27

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x.

According to the question,

5x – 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 19

Thus,

The numbers are 5x = 5 × 9 = 45

And 3x = 3 × 9 = 27.
