Question

Two numbers are in a ratio of $5:6$.If the sum of the numbers is $132$ ,find the numbers

Answer 1

Since the numbers are in the ratio $5:6$, let the numbers be $5x$ and $6x$.

Sum of numbers $=5x+6x=11x$

According to the question,

$\Rightarrow 11x=132$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{132}{11}=12$

So, the numbers are $5\left(11\right)=55$ and $6\left(11\right)=66$
