Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:8 and if their sum is 169. Find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

Let the no. be x

8x and 5x

Form the equation...

8x+5x=169

Add the no.

13x=169.

13 will come RHS in division.

x=169÷13

x=13

Now ,

8x=8×13=104

5x=5×13=65.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the two numbers be 5x and 8x.

Then,

5x + 8x = 169

13x = 169

x = 169/13

x = 13.

Then the first number is 5x = (5×13) = 65

And the second number is 8x = (8×13) = 104
