Answer 2

Given: Mother is 47 years old and after 6 years, the ratio of the mother's age to son's age is 1/2.

To find: We have to find the son's age.

Solution:

To determine the age of the son we have to follow the below steps as follows-

Let the son's age be x years.

After 6 years his age is x+6 years.

After 6 years his mother's age is 47+6=53 years.

The ratio of their age is 1:2.

So, we can write-

$\frac{x + 6}{53} = \frac{1}{2} \\ 2x + 12 = 53 \\ 2x = 41 \\ x = 20.5$

The value of x is 20.5.

The age of the son is 20 years and 6 months.
