    The ratio of the numbers is given to be 8/7. If we let x be the common factor between these numbers, the numbers then would become 8x and 7x. From the given, it is stated that the sum of the numbers is 195. The equation that would allow us to solve this item is,

    8x + 7x = 195

    Simplifying the left-hand side of the equation,

    15x = 195

    Dividing the equations by 15,

    x = 13

    We determine the value of the numbers by multiplying x to the given 8 and 7 as shown below.

    first number = (8) (13) = 104

    second number = (7) (13) = 91

    The numbers are therefore 104 and 91.
