Answer:

7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y which are relatively prime to each other.

a/b = 5/2

So you want the ratio of

(a + b) / (a - b)

  • Take out a common factor of b
  • numerator:  b(a/b + 1)
  • denominator: b(a/b - 1)
  • Put them together
  • The b's cancel out
  • (a/b + 1) / (a/b - 1)
  • but a/b = 5/2
  • (5/2 + 1) / (5/2 - 1)
  • Numerator:  (5/2 + 2/2) = 7/2
  • Denominator: 5/2 - 2/2 = 3/2
  • numerator over denominator = 7/2 // 3/2 = 7/2 * 2/3 = 7/3

Answer: 7/3

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

30,40,50

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a right triangle then the pythagorean theorum would work

a^2+b^2=c^2

30^2+40^2=50^2

900+1600=2500

2500=2500

this means that 30,40,50 is the right answer

*******extra********

also 30,40,50 is a pythagorean triplet

pythagorean triplets form right angles

this one came from the original triplet of 3,4,5---just multiply by 10
