Let the two numbers be 5k and 6k
According to question, if 8 is subtracted from the fraction , then the ratio becomes 4:5
Hence,
(5k - 8)/( 6k - 8) = 4/5
→ 5(5k-8) = 4(6k - 8)
→ 25k - 40 = 24k - 32
→ 25k - 24k = -32 + 40
→ k = 8
Therefore, Two numbers are
5k and 6k = 5×8 and 6×8
= 40 and 48
Good luck.
