Answer:

                                   Ratio = 5:3

Let numbers be 5x and 3x

According to question

                        5x -3x = 18

                               2x=18

                                 x =18/2

                                  x=9

 Therefore first number = 5x

                                         =5*9                    (by putting x=9)

                                          =45

And second number        = 3x  =3*9            ((by putting x=9)

                                                   = 27

Hence numbers are 45 and 27
