Question

Write 120 as a sum of two number such that 2/3 of one is equal to 2/5 of the other
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X+ Y = 120

2/3 X= 2/5 Y

X/Y = 3/5

then 3X + 5X = 120

X = 15 then the numbers are

X = 3(15) = 45

Y = 5(15) = 75

Answer 2

let one no. be x and other be 120-x

according to the question--

2/3x=2/5(120-x)

2/3x=48-2/5x

2/3x+2/5x=48

10x+6x/15=48

16/15x=48

X=48×15/16

x=45

answer=45+75=120
