The ratio of two numbers is 5:9.If 5 is added to both numbers,the resulting ratio is 3:5.Find the two numbers

Sagot :

Lets try:
5 : 9
5 x 5 : 9 x 5
25 : 45
30 : 50
3 : 5

The two numbers are
25 and 45 and the ratio is 25 : 45

Other formula:

3 : 5    = 3 x 10 : 5 x 10
3 : 5    = 30       : 50
3 : 5    = 3         : 5 
30 : 50 = 30 / 50
30 : 50 = 30 - 5 / 50 - 5
30 : 50 = 25 / 45
3 : 5    =  25 / 45
3 : 5    = 3 : 5

So therefore, the answer is 25 and 45






We let the two numbers be 5x and 9x.

[tex] \frac{5x+5}{9x+5} = \frac{3}{5} \\ 25x + 25 = 27x+15 \\ 10=2x \\ 5=x[/tex]

Therefore the two numbers are 25 and 45.
