Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Two numbers are in the ratio of 5 : 3. They differ by 18.

To Find :-

• What are the numbers.

Solution :-

Let, the first number be 5x

And, the second number will be 3x

According to the question,

↦ $\sf 5x - 3x =\: 18$

↦ $\sf 2x =\: 18$

↦ $\sf x =\: \dfrac{\cancel{18}}{\cancel{2}}$

➦ $\sf\bold{\purple{x =\: 9}}$

Hence, the required numbers are :

➲ First number :

⇒ $\sf 5x$

⇒ $\sf 5(9)$

⇒ $\sf 5 \times 9$

➠ $\sf\bold{\red{45}}$

And,

➲ Second number :

⇒ $\sf 3x$

⇒ $\sf 3(9)$

⇒ $\sf 3 \times 9$

➠ $\sf\bold{\red{27}}$

$\therefore$ The numbers are 45 and 27.
