Question

two numbers are in the Ratio 5:3 if they differ by ratio 5:3if they differ by 20, what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

ratios be 5x, 3x.

difference by 20 then ratio become

5x - 20/ 3x - 20= 5/3.

3(5x - 20) = 5(3x -20).

15x - 60 = 15x - 100.

x = 40.

5x = 5*40 = 200

3x = 3*40 = 120.

okay.

Answer 2

Let 5 be 5x

Let 3 be 3x

5x-3x=20

2x=20

x=20/2

x=10

5(10)=50,

3(10)=30.
