The difference between two whole numbers is 60. If the ratio between them is 2 : 3, find the numbers?
Answer: 180 and 120
Explanation
Let's denote the two numbers as 2x and 3x, based on the ratio 2:3.
The difference between the numbers is:
3x - 2x = 60
x = 60
Now, find the numbers:
Smaller number = 2x = 2 × 60 = 120
Larger number = 3x = 3 × 60 = 180
The numbers are 180 and 120.
