Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the larger number, then the smaller is x/6, and their difference is ...

  x - x/6 = (5/6)x

The ratio of the smaller number to the difference is then ...

  (x/6)/(5x/6) = 1/5

So the smaller number is 1/5 of the difference, or 25/5 = 5.

The value of the smaller number is 5.
