Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5: 3.if they differ by 18 ,what are the numbers

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and y

Given that x-y =18 and

x/y=5/3

=> 3x-5y=0

X=45

y=27

Answer 2

Answer:

45 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x.

According to the question,

5x – 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 19

Thus,

The numbers are 5x = 5 × 9 = 45

And 3x = 3 × 9 = 27.
