Question

Two numbers are in ratio 5:3 If the numbers differ by 36, find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 90 and 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the values of the ratio be x

∴ (5x - 36) = 3x

5x - 3x = 36

2x = 36

x = 18

5x = 90

3x = 54

90 - 54 = 36, hence, proved.

Answer 2

Answer:

let numbers be 5x and 3x

now

5x-3x= 36

2x= 36

x= 18

now numbers are

5x= 18×5= 90

3x= 18×3= 54
