Question

two numbers are in the ratio 2:3 The larger number is 30 more than half of the smaller number find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the two given number is 2 : 3

Here we can multiply both the numbers in the ratio by a constant number x

So we get the two numbers as 2x and 3x

Now we are given the information that the larger number is 30 more than half of the smaller number

So we can form an equation as 3x = 2x/2 +30

3x = 2x/2 + 30

3x = x + 30

3x - x = 30

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15

With the value of x we can get the two number as 2x = 30 and 3x = 45
