Two numbers are in the ratio of 7 ∶ 8. If the difference between the numbers is 30
Calculation:
Let the two numbers be 7x and 8x (since they are in the ratio of 7 : 8)
According to the problem, their difference is 30. Therefore, we can write:
8x - 7x = 30
x = 30
So the first number is:
7x = 7 × 30 = 210
And the second number is:
8x = 8 × 30 = 240
Therefore, the two numbers are 210 and 240.
