  1. Answer:

    Let us consider the ration of two numbers be x

    The two numbers are 5x and 3x

    Since two numbers differ by 18, we can write the equation

    5x – 3x = 18

    2x = 18

    x= 9

    Therefore the two numbers are

    5x = 5 x 9 = 45

    and

    3x = 3 x 9 = 27

    ∴ The two numbers are 45 and 27.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hope this answer helps you.
