Answer 1

Question:-

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

To find :-

• The two numbers

Given:-

• The sum if number is 132

Solution:-

• Let the numbers be 5x and 6x.

$\implies \: 5 x + 6x = 132$

$\implies \: 11x = 132$

$\implies \: x = 12$

The required value for x is 12.

$\bullet \: 5x = 5 \times 12 = 60$

$\bullet \: 6x = 6 \times 12 = 72$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\large{ \underline{ \overline{ \mid{ \bf{ \blue{Verification : -{ \mid}}}} }}}$

$\implies \: 72 + 60 = 132$

Hence Proved ✔✔

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\purple{ANSWER}$

Solution:-

Let the numbers be 5x and 6x.

• 5 x + 6x = 132⟹5x+6x=132
• 11x = 132⟹11x=132
• x = 12⟹x=12
• The required value for x is 12.
• 5x = 5 × 12 = 60∙5x=5×12=60
• 6x = 6 × 12 = 72∙6x=6×12=72

70 + 60 = 132
