Answer 1

Hi my friend,

Let the one Number be X.

Then the other number = 5X

The difference between the two numbers is 532

Based on this question;

5X - X = 532

4X = 532

X = 133.

Since one number is 5 times bigger than the other; we then have

5X where X is (133) is

5(133) = 665.

The two numbers are 133 and 665.
