| Answer» TWO numbers are in the RATIO of 5:6.8 is subtracted from each, the ratio becomes 4:5.⠀To FIND:-The numbers.⠀Solution:-Let,the two numbers are x and y⠀According to the question→ x/y = 5/6→ x × 6 = y × 5→ 6x - 5y = 0→ x - 8/y - 8 = 4/5→ 5x - 40 = 4y - 32→ 5x - 4y = 8→ x = 5y/6→ 5(5y/6) - 4y = 8→ y = 48⠀Now,→ 6x - 5(48) = 0→ 6x = 240→ x = 40⠀Hence,the numbers are 48 and 40. | |
