Question

two number are in the ratio 5:3 If they differ by 18 ,find these integers​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 45 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rational between numbers be x. As the numbers are in 5 : 3 ratio

Hence the numbers can be written as 5x and 3x

As per the statement the difference in these numbers is 18. Thus

5x-3x=18…Eq.1

Solving this equation

5x-3x=18

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

Therefore rational x between the number is 9; Now calculate the numbers by putting the value of rational x.

5x means

5×9

=45

First number is 45

3x means

3×9

=27

Second number is 27

Answer the numbers are 45 and 27

Now check the correctness of answer by putting the value of x in Eq. 1

5x-3x=18

5×9–3×9=18

45–27=18

18=18

Means answer is correct

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5:3=5x-3x(because it is given differ in the question)

5x -3x =18

2x=18

x=18÷2

x=9

therefore = 5x = 5×9=45

3x=3×9=27

hope it helps you
