Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that the square root of two numbers is 5 square root 3, so we can write:

sqrt(x) + sqrt(y) = 5sqrt(3)

We also know that one of the numbers is 3, so we can substitute x = 3 into the equation:

sqrt(3) + sqrt(y) = 5sqrt(3)

Now we can solve for y by isolating the square root term:

sqrt(y) = 5sqrt(3) - sqrt(3)

sqrt(y) = 4sqrt(3)

Squaring both sides of the equation gives:

y = (4sqrt(3))^2

y = 48

Therefore, the other number is 48.
