Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 45 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x

The two numbers are 5x and 3x

Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation

5x – 3x = 18

2x = 18

x= 9

the two numbers are

5x = 5 x 9 = 45

and

3x = 3 x 9 = 27

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.

Answer 2

$\huge\underbrace\mathrm\blue{Solution}$

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
