    5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If x is the larger number, then the smaller is x/6, and their difference is ...

    x - x/6 = (5/6) x

    The ratio of the smaller number to the difference is then ...

    (x/6) / (5x/6) = 1/5

    So the smaller number is 1/5 of the difference, or 25/5 = 5.

    The value of the smaller number is 5.
