Answer 2

Answer :

Numbers are 24 and 36

Step by step Explanation :

Given :

• Two numbers are in ratio 2 : 3

• Sum of the numbers = 60

To find :

• The numbers

Solution :

Let the unknown numbers be x ( 2x : 3x )

⟶ 2x : 3x = 60

⟶ 2x + 3x = 60

⟶ 5 x = 60

⟶ x = 60 / 5

⟶ x = 12

So, X = 12

The numbers are :

2x : 3x

⟶ 2x = 2 × 12

⟶ 24

⟶ 3x = 3 × 12

⟶ 36

24 + 36 = 60

∴ The numbers are 24 and 36
