Given:
The sum of a whole number A and a whole number B is 16 and the ratio is a : B which is equivalent to 5:3
Find A and B.
Solution:
The given can be solved by using logical analysis. We know by fact that we can upscale 5:3 or multiply it with 2, in order to have a result that will add to 16, since 5 + 3 is 8, hence if we multiply 2 to 5:3, it will become
= 10:6
= 10 + 6
= 16
FInal answer:
= 10:6
