Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be 5x and 8x

A/q

8x-5x=27

3x=27

So x=9

The numbers are 45 and 72

Answer 2

72 and 45 , in this case we take 5:8 as 5x and 8x so, if we subtract them and comes 3x= (8x -5x) .then 3x is equal to 27. x is equal to 9 . 8 x 9 and 5 x 9 comes. 72 and 45. is the answer
