Three numbers are in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 7. The sum of their cubes is 61875. Find the three numbers.-Please explain.

Since the numbers are in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 7.
So suppose the numbers are 5x, 3x and 7x respectively.
Now according to the question we have;
5x3+3x3+7x3 = 61875125x3+27x3+343x3 = 61875495x3 = 61875x3 = 61875495 x = 618754953 = 1253x = 5
Therefore the numbers are 5x i.e. 5×5 = 25; 3x i.e. 3×5 = 15; 7x i.e. 7×5 = 35
