Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 8:3. If their sum is 143, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 104, and 39. We are also given that the sum of the two numbers is 143.

Answer 2

Let the numbers are 8x and 3x

Sum of both the numbers = 143

Now, 8x+3x=143

11x=143

x=143/11

x=13

8x= 8×13=104

3x=3×13=39

Hence the numbers are 104 & 39.
