Question

two numbers are in the ratio 5:3.If they differ by 18,what are the numbers

Answer 1

The answer is given below :

The ratio of the numbers is 5 : 3.

If x be the common multiple, then the numbers be 5x and 3x.

Given that,

difference between the numbers = 18

=> 5x - 3x = 18

=> 2x = 18

=> x = 9

Thus, the numbers are

(5×9) and (3×9)

i.e., 45 and 27.

Thank you for your question.

Answer 2

HEYA!!!!

Here is your answer :
___________________________

Given,

Ratios of the numbers are 5:3

let x be the common ratio.

difference between the numbers = 18

ATP,

5x - 3x = 18

2x = 18

x = 18/2

x = 9

5x = 5 (9) = 45

3x = 3 (9) = 27

Therefore,

the numbers are 45 and 27
