Question

(4) The ages of Ramirez and
Rahman are 1: 2. Five years from
now, the ratio of their ages will
be 3:5. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Present ages are 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take their present age has 'x'

it is ratio so :

1x=ramirez

2x=rahman

1x/2x

after 5 years

(1x+5)/(2x+5) = 3/5

if you do cross multiplication 3(2x+5)=5(1x+5)

6x+15=5x+25

6x-5x=25-15

x=10

so the present ages of ramirez is 10

rahman is 20
