Question

two numbers are in ration 2:3 and their sum is 80 then the least is ______​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed { \fcolorbox{pink}{yellow}{Answer}}$

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x

Their sum=80

2x+3x=80

5x=80

x=80/5

x=16

So, 2x=2(16)=32

3x=3(16)=48

So, least is 2x=32

Thanx❤✌

Answer 2

Given :

• Two numbers are in the ratio of 2:3
• Their sum is 80

To Find :

• The smallest ( least ) number

Solution :

• Let the unknown number be x , then the numbers becomes 2x and 3x

• According to the question :

$\:\:\: \implies \: \sf 2x\:+\:3x\:=\:80$

$\:\:\: \implies \: \sf 5x\:=\:80$

$\:\:\: \implies \: \sf x\:=\: \cancel \dfrac{80}{5}$

$\:\:\: {\red \bigstar \: \large{\boxed{\sf{\pink{x\:=\:16}}}}}$

• Numbers :

1. 2x = 2(16) = 32
2. 3x = 3(16) = 48

$\bigstar \: {\sf{\underline{Therefore\:, \:least\:number\:is\:32}}}$
