1.	Two numbers are in the ratio 8:7. Their sum is 60. Find the two numbers.
Answer» ANSWER: The two numbers are 32 and 28 Step-by-step explanation: Let the COMMON MULTIPLAYER be " x " . So the numbers are 8x & 7x . Their sum is 60. 8x + 7x = 60 => 15X = 60. => x = 60/15 => x = 4 . So the numbers are 8x = 8 × 4 = 32 . 7x = 7 × 4 = 28. So the required numbers are 32 & 28 I hope it helped you!! Thanks!!

The two numbers are 32 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the COMMON MULTIPLAYER be " x " .

So the numbers are 8x & 7x .

Their sum is 60.

8x + 7x = 60

=> 15X = 60.

=> x = 60/15

=> x = 4 .

So the numbers are

8x = 8 × 4 = 32 .

7x = 7 × 4 = 28.

So the required numbers are 32 & 28

I hope it helped you!! Thanks!!
