Two numbers are in the ratio of 5 : 3. If they differ by 18, what are the numbers?
Given:
Two numbers are in the ratio of $5 : 3$.
They differ by 18.
To do:
We have to find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the numbers be $5x$ and $3x$.
Given that the difference of the numbers is $18$.
Therefore,
$5x - 3x = 18$
$2x = 18$
$x=\frac{18}{2}$
$x = 9$
$\Rightarrow 5x=5(9)=45$
$3x=3(9)=27$
Therefore, the numbers are $45$ and $27$.
