Question

a father is four times as old as his son. Four years from now, the father will turn 40. Find the ratio of the father's age to son's age 6 years from now

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the child's age be x

then father's age will be 4x

given that four years from now the father's age will be 40

4x+4=42

4x=36

x=9

thus sons age is 9 and father's age is 36

also the ratio 6 years from now will be

36+6/9+6=42/15

14:5
