Hey Pretty Stranger!

Let the number be 3x and 5x

According to the Question :

$\longrightarrow \sf3x + 5x = 64$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 8x = 64$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: x = \dfrac{64}{8}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: x = 8$

Hence,

$\bullet \rm \: 1st \: no. \: = 3(8) = 24$

$\bullet \rm \: 2nd \: no. \: = 5(8) = 40$
