Answer 1

Question:

Two numbers are in the ratio 4.5 and their sum is 180 find the number.

Given Data :

Ratio of two numbers = 4:5

Sum of their ratio is 180

To find :

The numbers

Solution

Let the ratio be = 4x : 5x

Sum of ratio = 180

4x + 5x = 180

9x = 180

$\sf \: x = \frac{180}{9}$

$\boxed{\sf \: x = 20}$

So now we know the value of x and we will put the value in place of x to get the number.

4x = 4 × 20 = 80

5x = 5 × 20 = 100

So the numbers are 80 and 100
