Question

Two numbers are in ratio 2 is to 3 if their sum is 650 find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:390

Step-by-step explanation:3:5=

3x+2x=650

=5x=650=

=x=650/5

=x=130

Now:

2x=2X130=260

3x=3X130=390

The largest number is 390

Answer 2

Answer:-

• The numbers are 260 and 390.

We have:-

• The sum of the numbers is 650.

• Numbers are in ratio 2:3.

Suppose:-

• The numbers are 2x and 3x respectively.

According to Question,

• ==> 2x + 3x = 650

• ==> 5x = 650

• ==> x = 650/5

• ==> x = 130

Therefore:-

• First number = 2x = 2*130 = 260

• Second number = 3x = 3*130 = 390

Hence:-

• The numbers are 260 and 390.
