Answer:

55 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the 2 numbers, we need to find first the multiplier. We can just simply add the two values in the ratio and divide it by 88. So, Add 5 and 3

5 + 3 = 8

then divide the sum by 88

88 ÷ 8 = 11

11 is the multiplier of two numbers in the ratio. Multiply 11 to both 5 and 3

(11)(5)=55

(11)(3)=33

and we get 55 and 33.
