Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 60 and 100.

Given:

Two numbers are in the ratio 3:5.

Their sum is 160.

To find:

What are the numbers?

Solution:

Let the first number be 3x.

And the second number be 5x.

Sum of the numbers = 160.

=> 3x+5x = 160

=> 8x = 160

=> x = 160/8

=> x = 20

Hence, first number = 3x = 3×20 = 60.

And second number = 5x = 5×20 = 100.

Verification:

Sum of the numbers = 160

=> 60+100 = 160

=> 160 = 160.

Here, LHS = RHS.

Hence, verified.

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 60 and 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be 3x and the second be 5x

Now, 3x+5x = 160

8x= 160

160/8= 20

First number= 20*3= 60

Second number= 20*5= 100
