Let's think outside the box first. If there are numbers in the ratio 8:5, what will be the ratio of difference?

The numbers are in the ratio of 8:5:3.

8 : 5 : 3 = ? : ? : 16

Let's divide by three then multiply by 16.

128/3 : 80/3 : 16 = ? : ? : 16

Therefore, the numbers are 128/3 and 80/3.

Always think outside the box
