Question

two numbers are in the form of ratios 5:3.if they differ by 18 what are the numbers​

Answer 1

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

Let the numbers are 5x and 3x.

Difference = 18.

According to condition,

5x-3x = 18

or, 2x = 18

or, x = 18 ÷ 2

or, x = 9

So, the two numbers are-

5x = 5×9 = 45

3x = 3×9 = 27

Hence, the numbers are 45 and 27.
