Answer:

5 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x then the other number is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x

Summing the 2 numbers and equating to 6

x + [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x = 6

Multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction

5x + x = 30

6x = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 5

and [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] × 5 = 1

The 2 numbers are 5 and 1
