Question

Find two numbers whose ratios is 3 to 5 and whose sum is 88​

Answer 1

33 and 55

Explanation:

`(x)/(y): (3)/(5)`

x + y = 88

3 + 5 = 8

`y((x)/(y)): y((3)/(5))`

`x= (3)/(5)y`

`y+(3)/(5)y=88`

`(8y)/(5)=88`

`5((8y)/(5))=5(88)`

8y = 440

8y ÷ 8 = 440 ÷ 8

y = 55

x + y = 88

x + 55 = 88

x + 55 - 55 = 88 - 55

x = 33
