the ratio of the arithmetic mean of two numbers to one of the numbers is 3 : 5 . what is the ratio of the smaller number to the larger ?
"let the numbers be a , b acc . to problem , ( a + b ) / 2 ∗ a ( a + b ) / 2 ∗ a = 3 / 53 / 5 1 / 21 / 2 + b / 2 ∗ ab / 2 ∗ a = 3 / 53 / 5 b / ab / a = 1 / 51 / 5 ans . a"
multiply(subtract(divide(3, 5), divide(const_1, const_2)), const_2)
