1. **Problem:** Given two numbers A and B with ratio 3:5 and their sum is 160, find B. 2. **Formula:** If $A:B=3:5$, then $A=3x$ and $B=5x$ for some $x$. 3. **Sum equation:** $$3x + 5x = 160$$ 4. **Simplify:** $$8x = 160$$ 5. **Solve for $x$:** $$x = \frac{160}{8} = 20$$ 6. **Find B:** $$B = 5x = 5 \times 20 = 100$$ **Answer:** $B=100$
