Question

Find two numbers whose ratios is 3 to 5 and whose sum is 88​

Answer 1

Answer:

33 and 55

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{y}: \frac{3}{5}$

x + y = 88

3 + 5 = 8

$y(\frac{x}{y}): y(\frac{3}{5})$

$x= \frac{3}{5}y$

$y+\frac{3}{5}y=88$

$\frac{8y}{5}=88$

$5(\frac{8y}{5})=5(88)$

8y = 440

8y ÷ 8 = 440 ÷ 8

y = 55

x + y = 88

x + 55 = 88

x + 55 - 55 = 88 - 55

x = 33
