A number is such that it is as much greater than 65 as it is less than 91. Find the number.
The numerator of a fraction is 2 less than the denominator. If 1 is added to its denominator, it becomes ½. Find the fraction.
If the sum of two numbers is 30 and their ratio is 2 : 3, then find the numbers.
Let one of the numbers be x.
∴ The other number = (30 - x)
According to the condition, we have
[∴ The ratio number is 2:3]
3x = 2(30 - x) [By cross multiplication]
3x = 60 - 2x
3x + 2x = 60
5x = 60
∴ 30 - x = 30 - 12 = 18
Thus, the required numbers are 12 and 18.
