Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 3 : 5 and their sum is 96. Find the larger number? for class 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

36 and 60

Step-by-step explanation:

As both numbers are in a fixed ratio, therefore each number should be a multiple of a natural number, say x, for some value of x, therefore

x(3+5)=96

x=12

Therefore the numbers are,

3*x = 3 * 12 = 36

and

5*x = 5 * 12 = 60

Answer 2

Answer:

larger number=5×12=60

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be 'x'

3x:5x

3x+5x=96

8x=96

x=12

3x=3×12=36

5x=5×12=60
