Question

if the age of father is two times the age of son and three times the age of his daughter and the total of their age is 88,and the age of daughter?
1) 24. 2) 16. 3)8. 4) 18​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = age of father; X/2 = age of son; X3 = age of daughter

Least Common Denominator = 6, so:

6X/6 + 3X/6 + 2X/6 = 11X/6 = 88

Therefore 11X= 88 x 6 = 528

X = 528/11 = 48

age of daughter is 48/3= 16

Answer 2

Answer:

let father's age be x

son's age x/2

daughters age = x/3

accordingly

x+x/2+x/3= 88

6x+3x+2x/6=88

11x= 528

x= 48

daughters age = x/3 = 48/3 = 16
