Question

Two numbers are in the ratio of 7:5 if they differ by 64 what are the number

Answer 1

Answer:

224 and 160

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are in a ratio of 7:5

So, 7x = 5x

     We also know that,

                              7x - 5x = 64

                                     2x = 64

                                        x = 64/2

                                        x = 32

So the numbers are,

                7(32) = 224

                5(32) = 160
