Question

Two number are in the ratio of 3:5 if the sum of number is 144 , then the smaller number​

Answer 1

Given :

• There are two numbers which are in the ratio of 3 : 5.

• The sum of the numbers is 144.

• It is here to find the smaller number.

Solution :

Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.

According to the question :

$\tt \: 3x + 5x = 144 \\ \\ \\ \tt \implies8x = 144 \\ \\ \\ \tt \implies \: x = \frac{144}{8} \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tt \implies { \underline{ \boxed{ \pmb{ \textbf{ \textsf{ \pink{x\: = \: 18}}}}}}} \: \: \bigstar$

So the required numbers are :

• 3x = 3 × 18 = 54
• 5x = 5 × 18 = 90

Therefore , The smaller number is 54.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider numbers as x

3x+5x=144

8x = 144

x = 144/8

x = 18

3x = 3×18

= 54

5x = 5×18

= 90
