Question

two numbers ratio 5:3 .if they differ by 18.what are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

45 , 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be : 5X and 3X

They differ by  : 18

Equation :  5X - 3X  =  18

                     2X       =  18

                        X       =   18 / 2

                        X       =    9

5X :  5 ( 9 )  =   45     { Substituting the number we found in the place of X}

3X :  3  ( 9 )  =   27     { Substituting the number we found in the place of X}

∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be 5x and 3x.

According to the question,

5x – 3x = 18

⇒ 2x = 18

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 19

Thus,

The numbers are 5x = 5 × 9 = 45

And 3x = 3 × 9 = 27.
