there are two positive numbers in the ratio 5 : 8 . if the larger number exceeds the smaller by 36 , then find the smaller number ?
"let the two positive numbers be 5 x and 8 x respectively . 8 x - 5 x = 36 3 x = 36 = > x = 12 = > smaller number = 5 x = 60 . answer : d"
divide(multiply(36, 5), const_4)
