Question

two numbers are in the ratio 10 : 11 . Their sum is 168 . Find the number.

please answer it correctly with step by step explanation please​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two numbers be 10x and 11x

Their sum is 168

ATQ

10x + 11x = 168

21x = 168

x = $\dfrac{168}{21}$

x = 8

Therefore the numbers will be

10x = 10 × 8 = 80

and , 11x = 11 ×8 = 88

Answer 2

According to Question :-

• Here in the question it's mentioned that the sum of two numbers Is 168 and these numbers are in ratio of 10:11 . For making the procedure simple we will take a common term called x and multiply it with both the rational terms .

• 10 × x = 10x
• 11 × x = 11x

Following the question ; we can write the terms as :

• 10x + 11x = 168

Simplification : -

• 21x = 168

• x = 168/21

• x = 8

The value of Common term is 8 .

• 10×8 = 80
• 11×8 = 88

The two numbers are 80 and 88 .

Verification can be done by :-

• 80+88 = 168
• 168 = 168

LHS = RHS !
