If the ratio of ages of A and B is 4:5 and B is 6 years older than A, what is the present age of A?
Let the age of A and B be 4x and 5x respectively. B is 6 years older than A B's age = A's age + 6 years 5x = 4x + 6 5x - 4x = 6 x = 6 So, A's age 4(6) = 24 years
Let the age of A and B be 4x and 5x respectively.
B is 6 years older than A
B’s age = A’s age + 6 years
5x = 4x + 6
5x – 4x = 6
x = 6
So, A’s age 4(6) = 24 years
