Here is the Complete question:

One number is 1/5 of another number. The sum of the two numbers is 12. Find the two numbers. Use a comma to separate your answers.

We can solve the given problem as follows:

Here, : One number is 1/5 of another number.

Let one such number = m

⇒ The other number = 1/5 (m)

Sum of both the given number = 12

`\implies  m + (1)/(5)  m = 12\\\implies (5m + m)/(5)  = 12\\\implies (6m)/(5)  = 12`

or, 6 m = 12 x (5) = 60

or, m = 60 / 6 = 10

or, m = 1 0

Hence, the first number = m = 10

Second number is
`(1)/(5) m =  (1)/(5) * 10 = 2`

Hence, two such numbers are 10 , 2 .
