Answer 1

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


HOPE THIS HELPS U. . .

Answer 2

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.
