there difference=104-39

=65

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference - 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be taken as

= 8:3

= 8x, 3x

According to the question-

$8x + 3x = 132 \\ \\ = 11x = 132 \\ \\ x = \frac{132}{11} \\ \\ x = 12$

ㅤ

So, numbers are -

$\rightarrow$ 8x=12×8= 96

$\rightarrow$ 3x= 12×3= 26

ㅤ

Difference -

$96 - 26 \\ \\ = 70$

Answer obtained respectively.
