Question

two numbers are in the ratio of 3:8 and their sum is 44.what is difference between the number?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let two numbers are X and Y

X/Y = 3/8

so 8X=3Y

Y=(8X/3)

Also X+Y=44

X+(8X/3)=44 (since Y is (8X/3) )

11X/3=44

X=4(3) = 12

Now Y = (8X/3) = 32

Difference between two numbers Y-X = 32–12 = 20 !!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

let two number are x and y

x/y =3/8

so,8x = 3y

y=(8x/3)

Also x+y =44 ( since Y is (8x/3) )

11x/3=44

x

Step-by-step explanation:

X =4(3) =12

Now Y = (8x/3) =32

difference between two number Y- X =32 - 12

= 20
