Answer 1

Answer:

First convert the age given in years and months into months, it will be easier to calculate.

4 years and 8 months =4×12 + 8 months = 48+8= 56 months

Let the age of younger brother be x months

Now as per ratio equation

8/5=56/x

Cross multiplication

8 × x =56 × 5

8x =280

x = 280/8

x = 35 months

Thus the age of younger brother is 35 months or 2 years 11 months

Answer younger brother age is 2 years 11 months
