Question

two number are in the ratio 5 ratio 8 if the sum of the number is 182 find the number

Answer 1

Given:

Ratio of two numbers=5:8

To Find:

The two numbers.

Solution:

• Let one number be 5x.
• Let the other number be 8x
• Then, according to the question,

    ⇒$5x+8x=182$

    ⇒$13x=182$

     ⇒$x=\dfrac{182}{13}$

     ⇒$x=14$

• So,  one number =$(5\times 14)=70$

• And, other number=$(8\times 14)$$=112$

• ∴The required number is 70 and 112.
