Answer:

39 and 65

Explanation:

the ratio of the two numbers is 3 : 5

sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 5 = 8 parts

divide the sum by 8 to find the value of one part of the ratio

104 ÷ 8 = 13 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

3 parts = 3 × 13 = 39

5 parts = 5 × 13 = 65

the two numbers are 39 and 65
