problem 1) two Wabers are in the ratio. 5:3 if Sum is. Find the two numbers
Answer (1)
Answer:Given:Two numbers are in the ratio 5:3Their sum is 8 (assuming you meant to say "Sum is 8")The two numbers be 5x and 3x, where x is a common factor.We know their sum is 8, so we can write the equation:5x + 3x = 8Combine like terms:8x = 8Divide both sides by 8:x = 1Find the two numbers:[tex]5x = 5(1) = \color{red}5[/tex][tex]3x = 3(1) = \color{red}3[/tex]
