Step-by-step explanation:

find the least common denominator

As in find there least common multiple

Then multiply both numerators and denominators to find the common multipl

Example:

2/8 multiples: 8,16,24

5/6 multiples:6,12,18,24

Least common multiple is 24

So 8*3=24

2*3=6

So 2/8=6/24

6*4= 24

5*4=20

So 5/6=20/24

Then you subtract 20/24 by 6/24

the difference between 2 whole number is 66 the ratio of the 2 whole number is 2.5 what are the two numbers

ch4aika [34]

Given :difference between 2 whole number = 66ratio of the 2 whole number =2:5Let:1 whole number be 2x2 whole number be 5xA/Q

difference between 2 whole number = 66

Let's turn it into algebraic equation:

5x - 2x = 663x= 66x =66 /3x =22

Now Let's put value of x to find two whole numbers

Finaly :1 whole number = 2x1 whole number = 2×221 whole number =44

2 whole number = 5x2 whole number = 5×222 whole number = 110
