Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 3: 9 .If their sum is 144,find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

36 and 108

Step-by-step explanation:

let first NUM be 3x

second be 9x

//as they are in ratio.

now 3x + 9x = 144

12x = 144

X = 144/12

X= 12

first NUM 3x = 36

second NUM 9x = 108 or 144-36= 36

Answer 2

Answer:

36 and 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given ratio be x, i.e., 3x and 9x respectively

= 3x+9x = 144

= 12x = 144

= x = 144/12

= x = 12

= 3x = 3*12 = 36

= 9x = 9*12 = 108

Hope this answer is correct
