Question

15 of the ages of A and B is 55 years. If the ration of their ages is 6 : 5, find their ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

30 & 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common ratio be x

then

Age of A = 6x

Age of B = 5x

their ages( A+ B) = 55

6x + 5x = 55

11x = 55

x = 55/11

x = 5

Hence the required ages of A and B are

A = 6×5 = 30

B = 5×5= 25
