Question

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

plz ans fast​

Answer 1

Let us consider the ration of two numbers be xThe two numbers are 5x and 3xSince two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation5x – 3x = 182x = 18x= 9Therefore the two numbers are5x = 5 x 9 = 45and3x = 3 x 9 = 27∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.thanks

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Two numbers are in the ratio of 5 : 3.
• They differ by 18.

To Find :-

• What are the numbers.

Solution :-

Let,

$\mapsto \bf{First\: number =\: 5x}$

$\mapsto \bf{Second\: number =\: 3x}$

Now,

$\leadsto$ The two numbers are differ by 18.

According to the question,

$\implies \sf 5x - 3x =\: 18$

$\implies \sf 2x =\: 18$

$\implies \sf x =\: \dfrac{\cancel{18}}{\cancel{2}}$

$\implies \sf x =\: \dfrac{9}{1}$

$\implies \sf\bold{\purple{x =\: 9}}$

Hence, the required numbers are :

❒ First Number :

$\longrightarrow \sf First\: Number =\: 5x$

$\longrightarrow \sf First\: Number =\: 5 \times 9$

$\longrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{First\: Number =\: 45}}$

❒ Second Number :

$\longrightarrow \sf Second\: Number =\: 3x$

$\longrightarrow \sf Second\: Number =\: 3 \times 9$

$\longrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{Second\: Number =\: 27}}$

${\small{\bold{\underline{\therefore\: The\: numbers\: are\: 45\: and\: 27\: .}}}}$
