Okay, this may seem complex for some but its actually is simple!
However, we will have to use double fractions which a lot of people dont like
So we have (8/5)/24 for our units. However, we need to find 2 miles. 8/5 is a bit confusing and hard to represent if we are converting to integers.
But, theres a trick. We need 2 miles so we can actually make 2 = 10/5.
We now have (8/5)/24 = (10/5)/x
Using cross-multiplication, we can solve for x!
Hope this helps
Let, the numbers are: 8x, 5x
It is given that, 8x - 5x = 24
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
So, 8x = 8(8) = 64
also, 5x = 5(8) = 40
In short, Numbers would be 40 and 64
Hope this helps!
Let x is the odd integer
x +2 is the next odd integer
so sum of an odd integer and the next odd integer:
x + (x+2)
