Question

Jessica is half as old as Aviral. Five years ago, the ratio of their ages was 1:3. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

jessica _ x

aviral _ x/2

$\frac{x - 5}{ \frac{x}{2} - 5 } = \frac{1}{3} \\ 3x - 15 = \frac{x}{2} - 5 \\ \frac{5x}{2} = 10 \\ 5x = 20 \\ x = 4$

Jessica _ 4 yrs

Arival _ 2 yrs
