Answer 1

The two number are 32:28 as the sum of 8:7 is 15 and 60/15 =4 and which is 8*4:7*4 =32:28

Answer 2

Let the common multiple be x

so the numbers are 7x & 8x

by the condition given in your question we get equation

7x + 8x = 60

15x = 60

x = 60/15

x = 4

7x = 28

8x = 32

so your required numbers are 32 & 28
