17. Two numbers are in the ratio 5:8
and their sum is 39.​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are in ratio 5:8

Let,the number be 5x, 8x.

5x + 8x = 39

13x = 39

x = 39/13

x= 3

By substitute the value :

5x= 5*3

= 15

8x = 8*3

= 24

adding both sides 15 + 24

the sum is 39.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the numbers be "x"

$\sf Given :-\: \bf$

Their sum is 39

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{5x + 8x = 39}\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf{ 13x = 39}\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf{x =}\dfrac{ 39}{13}\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf{ x = 3}\end{gathered}$

$\sf Now\: We\: Got \: Value \: Of \: x \: That \: is \: 3 \bf$

$\sf Lets\: find\: numbers \bf$

• $\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{ 5x = 5 × 3 = 15}\end{gathered}$
• $\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{ 8x = 8 × 3 = 24}\end{gathered}$

Therefore, that two numbers are 15 , 24.
