Question

Jessica is half as old as Aviral five years ago the ratio of their ages was 1 is to 3 find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aviral is 20 and Jessica is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Aviral be "y" and Jessica be "x"

Therefore,

Aviral's age = Half of Jessica's age.

x = y/2 ... (1)

------------------

x - 5 / y - 5 = 1/3

3(x - 5) = y - 5

3x - 15 = y- 5

3y/2 - 15 = y - 5 (from 1)

3y - 30 / 2 = y - 5

3y-30 = 2y - 10

3y -2y = -10+30

y = 20.

x= y/2

= 20/2

= 10.
