there are two positive numbers in the ratio 5 : 8 . if the larger number exceeds the smaller by 18 , then find the smaller number ?
"let the two positive numbers be 5 x and 8 x respectively . 8 x - 5 x = 18 3 x = 18 = > x = 6 = > smaller number = 5 x = 30 . answer : a"
divide(multiply(18, 5), const_4)
