(Class-8/exercise 2.2/question-5).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x

The two numbers are 5x and 3x

Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation

5x – 3x = 18

2x = 18

x= 9

Therefore the two numbers are

5x = 5 x 9 = 45

and

3x = 3 x 9 = 27

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.

Answer 2

Answer:

45 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers that are in the ratio be 5x and 3x

It may differ by 18

So, 5x-3x=18

=> 2x=18

=> x=9

So, from the ratios we find the two numbers I.e,

5x= 5*9=45

3x= 3*9=27

So, the two numbers be 45 and 27
