Question

two numbers are in the ratio of 8:7 their sum is 60 find the two numbers

Answer 1

Let the common ratio be x
first ratio = 8x
second ratio = 7x
ATQ
8x+7x=60
15x=60
x=60/15
x=4
now
first number = 8x=8*4=32
second number=7x=7*4=28

Answer 2

Answer:

1st number → 32

2nd number → 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the two numbers = 8 : 7

Let the common multiple be x

Let the 1st number be 8x and 2nd be 7x

Their sum is 60

According to the given condition

8x + 7x = 60

→ 15x = 60

→ x = 4

∴ 1st number → 8x

→ 8 * 4

→ 32

∴ 2nd number → 7x

→ 7 * 4

→ 28

∴ The two numbers are 32 and 28 respectively.
