Two numbers are in the ratio 8:3 if the sum of the numbers is 143 find the numbers?

$\huge\sf\underline{Answer:}$

Let the two numbers be '8x' and '3x'.

According to question,

=> 8x+3x=143

or, 11x=143

or,x=143/11

or, x= 13

Therefore, The first number=> 8×13= 104

and, The second number=>3×13=39
