Question

two numbers are in the 5:3 if they differ 18,what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer:

y= 27

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

x:y=5:3

i.e x/y=5/3

x=5y/3

also given x-y = 18

therefore, (5y/3)-y=18

by solving this y= 27

x-27=18

x= 18+27

x=45
