Question

Anish is 40 years old and Harish is 60 years old. How many years ago was the ratio of their ages 3:5

Answer 1

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying ratio of Anish/Harish,

40/60 = 4:6

The common multiple in this ratio is 10..

Therefore,

3/5 * 10/10 = 30/50

Where, Anish = Numerator value, Harish = Denominator value!

So, Anish = 30 years and Harish = 50 years.

Now,

Subtracting the first ratio values on second ratio values:

40 - 30 or 60 - 50

We get 10 years.

Hope this helps :3
