Question

two numbers are in the ratio 8:3. if the sum of the mumbers is 143, find the numbers.

Answer 1

let the numbers be x and y

x/y = 8/3 
3x = 8y

x+y = 143
3x + 3y = 429
8y+3y = 429
11y = 429
y = 39

x = 143 - 39 = 104

Answer 2

Hey !!

Here is your answer.. ⬇⬇

Let the number be x.

Given that ratio of two number is 8:3.

one no. = 8x
another no. = 3x

Given the sum of the numbers is 143.

8x + 3x = 143
11x = 143
x = 143/11
x = 13

One no. = 8x = 8 ( 13 ) = 104
another no. = 3x = 3 ( 13 ) = 39

HOPE IT HELPS...
