Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 5:3 . If they differ by 18 , what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• Ratio of two numbers = 5:3
• They differ by 18

To Find :-

Numbers

Solution :-

Let the numbers be 5x and 3x

$\tt \implies \: 5x - 3x = 18$

$\tt \implies \: 2x = 18$

$\tt \implies \: x = \cancel\dfrac{18}{2}$

$\frak \red{x = 9}$

Numbers are

$\sf \mapsto \: 5x = 5(9) = 45$

$\sf \mapsto \: 3x = 3(9) = 27$

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be 'x'

Then ratio will be 5x:3x

=> 5x-3x= 18

=> 2x=18

=> x=18/2=9

=> 5x=5×9=45

=>3x=3×9=27

THE NUMBERS ARE 45:27

VERIFY:-

45-27=18

Hence, verified .
