You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given problem: Two whole numbers are in the ration of 2:5.
If their difference is 66, find the whole numbers.
Since the whole numbers are in the ratio 2:5,
Let the whole numbers be 2*x, 5*x.
Difference between the whole numbers is 66.
Thus,
5*x - 2*x = 66
3*x = 66
x = 22
Thus the whole numbers are : 2*22, 5*22 i.e,
44,110.
