Let the numbers be 8x and 7x, as they are in the ratio 8:7.

The sum of the two numbers is given as 60:

8x + 7x = 60

Simplifying the equation, we get:

15x = 60

Dividing both sides by 15, we get:

x = 4

Substituting this value of x back into our expressions for the numbers:

8x = 8(4) = 32

7x = 7(4) = 28

Therefore, the two numbers are 32 and 28.
