Here is the Complete question:

One number is 1/5 of another number. The sum of the two numbers is 12. Find the two numbers. Use a comma to separate your answers.

We can solve the given problem as follows:

Here, : One number is   1/5  of another number.

Let one such number = m

⇒ The other number = 1/5 (m)

Sum of both the given number = 12

$\implies  m + \frac{1}{5}  m = 12\\\implies \frac{5m + m}{5}  = 12\\\implies \frac{6m}{5}  = 12$

or, 6  m = 12 x (5) = 60

or, m = 60 / 6  =  10

or, m = 1 0

Hence, the first number = m = 10

Second number is $\frac{1}{5} m =  \frac{1}{5} \times 10 = 2$

Hence, two such numbers are 10  , 2 .
