Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6. If the sum of the numbers is 132, find the two numbers

Answer 1

let the ratio number be x

so 1st no. = 5x

2nd no = 6x

according to question..

=). 6x+ 5x = 132

=). 11x = 132

=) x = 132/ 11 = 12

so 1st no. = 5x = 5×12 =60

2nd no = 6x = 6×12 =72

Answer 2

Assume the unknown numbers to be 5 x and 6 x respectively.
Given :
5x + 6 x = 132

11x = 132
x = 132 ÷ 11
x = 12


Therefore , the numbers are :
5 x = 5 × 12 = 60
6 x = 6 × 12 = 72


The numbers are 60 and 72.
