Given :difference between 2 whole number = 66ratio of the 2 whole number =2:5Let:1 whole number be 2x2 whole number be 5xA/Q

difference between 2 whole number = 66

Let's turn it into algebraic equation:

5x - 2x = 663x= 66x =66 /3x =22

Now Let's put value of x to find two whole numbers

Finaly :1 whole number = 2x1 whole number = 2×221 whole number =44

2 whole number = 5x2 whole number = 5×222 whole number = 110
