Question

Abu is three times as old as Bright.the sum of their ages is 60. How old are they?

Answer 1

Answer:

Abu - 45

Bright - 15

Step by Step Explanation :

Let the age of Abu and Bright = x and 3x

According to Question,

Sum of their ages = 60

So,

x + 3x = 60

x + 3x = 60

4x = 60

x = 60÷4

x = 15

Hence,

Age of Abu = 3x

= 3 × 15

= 45

Age of Bright = x

= 15
