Question

Hitesh is 40 years old and ronnie is 60 years old .How many years ago was the ratio of their ages 3:5?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

present ratio of hitesh to ronnie = 40:60 or 2:3

then

let

before year be x

then

(2 - x):(3 - x) = 3:5

5(2 - x) = 3(3 - x)

10 - 5x = 9 - 3x

- 5x + 3x = 9 - 10

- 2x = - 1

x = -1/-2

x = 1/2

Hence, half year or 6 months before is the answer.
