Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are in the ratio 3:5

Let the numbers be 3×x = 3x and 5×x = 5x

Their sum is 64

By condition,

3x+5x = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

The numbers are 3×8 =24 and 5×8 =40

Answer 2

Answer:

24 : 40

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S read the whole explanation =

Ratio of 2 numbers = 3 : 5

Sum of the 2 numbers = 64

The 2 numbers = 64 / 8

                          = 8

So it will be = 3 x 8 : 5 x 8

                   = 24 : 40

Lets recheck = 24 + 40 = 60

Therefore, the 2 numbers are 24 and 40.
