Question

two numbers are in ratio 5:3 if they differ by 18 what are the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

45:27

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

Therefore the two numbers are

5x = 5 x 9 = 45

and

3x = 3 x 9 = 27

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

take them as x.

5x-3x=18

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

5x=5 x 9=45

3x=3 x 9=27
