Question

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

Answer 1

Given that two numbers are in the ratio 5:8.

Let the first number be 5x.    ---- (1)

Let the second number be 8x.   ---- (2)

Given that sum of numbers is 182.

5x + 8x = 182

13x = 182

x = 14

Substitute x = 14 in (1)& (2), we get

1st number = 5 * 14 = 70

2nd number = 8 * 14 = 112.


Therefore, the numbers are 70 and 112.


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hey!

Given,
Ratio=5:8
Sum of these numbers =182

Let the numbers =5x and 8x

ATQ,
182=5x + 8x
182=13x
182/13=x
14=x

Hence,
1st number=5x=5×14
=70
2nd number =8x = 8×14
=112

The numbers are 70 and 112.
