Question

two numbers are in the ratio 5:3 if they differ by 18 what are the numbers

Answer 1

Here's your answer...

Let,

The numbers be 5x and 3x

They differ by 18

5x-3x = 18

2x=18

x=18/2

x = 9

then

5x = 5*9
     = 45

3x = 3*9
     =27

The numbers are 45 and 27

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.
