Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 8 : 4 If the sum of the numbers is 360 ,

find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

LET THE COMMON NUMBER BE 'X'

THE TWO NUMBERS WILL BE = 8X & 4X

8X + 4X = 360

12 X = 360

X = 360 ÷ 12

X = 30

FIRST NUMBER = 8X = 8 × 30

= 240

SECOND NUMBER = 4X = 4 × 30

= 120

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Two numbers are in the ratio of 8:4. If the sum of the numbers is 360.

To Find :-

• What is the numbers.

Solution :-

Let, the first number be 8x

And, the second number be 4x

According to the question,

⇒ 8x + 4x = 360

⇒ 12x = 360

⇒ x = $\dfrac{\cancel{360}}{\cancel{12}}$

➠ x = 30

Hence, the required numbers are,

✧ First number = 8x = 8 × 30 = 240

✧ Second number = 4x = 4 × 30 = 120

$\therefore$ The numbers are 120 and 240.

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

$\boxed{\bold{\large{VERIFICATION :-}}}$

↦ 8x + 4x = 360

Put x = 30 we get,

↦ 8(30) + 4(120) = 360

↦ 240 + 120 = 360

↦ 360 = 360

➦ LHS = RHS

Hence, Verified ✔
