Question

two numbers are in the ratio 5:8. if the sum of the numbers is 182 , find the numbers

Answer 1

Let 1st number be 5x
Let 2nd number be 8x
Therfore,5x+8x=182
13x=182
X=14
1st number=5×14=70
2nd number=8×14=112

Answer 2

HEYA! !!!!

Given,

Sum of two numbers = 182

Ratios of the numbers = 5:8

let common ratio be x

then the ratios of the numbers = 5x and 8x

ATP,

5x + 8x = 182

13x = 182

x = 182/13

x = 14

Therefore, the numbers are 5x = 5 (14) = 70, 8x = 8 ( 14 ) = 112...
