Question

two numbers are in ratio 5:8 . if the sum of the numbers is 182,find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the no. of ratio be 5x and 8x
A/Q. 5x+8x=182
13x=182
x=182/13
x=14
So, the first no. is 14*5=70
second no. is 14*8=112

Answer 2

if there is ratio given 5:8. and the total sum is given then=5+8 = 13 this is the total sum of ratio and then the first number is = 5*13= 65 and second number is =8*13= 104
