Let the two whole numbers be 2x and 5x

The difference between 2x and 5x is 99. So,

5x-2x=99

3x=99

x=99/3

x=33

Therefore the two numbers are

5x=5*33=165

2x=2*33=66

Answer:

28:71

99/7=14.14285714 (make sure to keep that in the calculator) that equals 1 part.

Therefore,

2×14.14...=28 (round up to nearest whole number)

5×14.14..=71 (round up to nearest whole number)
