The numbers are 8 and 48.

Given to us

1.   one number is five times another number

2.   their sum is 48

Assumption

Let the first number be x.

statement 1,

one number is five times another number. therefore,

the second number $= 5 \times x$

                              $=5x$

Statement 2,

their sum is 48. so,

Sum of the number = first number + second number

$48 = x +5x\\48 = 6x\\6x = 48\\\\x =\dfrac{48}{6}\\\\x = 8$

Hence, the numbers are 8 and 48.
