Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6.If 8 is subtracted from each of the number the ratio becomes 4:5,Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers =5:6=5x & 6x

If eight is subtract from two numbers=5x-8

=6x-8

If 8 is subtracted from each of the number the ratio become is 4:5=4x &5x

5x-8+6x-8=4x+5x

11x-16=9x

11x-9x=16

2x=16

x=16/2=8

Two numbers = 5x=5×8=40

=6x=6×8=48

40-8=32=4x=4×8=32

48-8=40=5x=5×8=40

Answer 2

Given :-

Two numbers are in ratio 5:6 . if 8 is subtract from each number the ratio be 4:5

To Find :-

Numbers

Solution :-

Let the ratio be 5x and 6x

5x - 8/6x - 8 = 4/5

5(5x - 8) = 4(6x - 8)

25x - 40 = 24x - 32

25x - 24x = 40 - 32

x = 8

Number are

5x = 40

6x = 48
