Question

Mohan father is five times as old as Mohan if the sum of their age is 48 find their age​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mohan is 8 and his father is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mohan = x

Then Mohan's father = 5x.

Now, if the sum of their ages is 48, we can right it like this:

x + 5x = 48

x +5x = 6x so,

6x = 48

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

x = 48/6 = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

mohan's age = 8years ; mohan's father age = 40years

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

let mohan's age = x

Mohan's father age = 5 times of Mohan age = 5x

sum of their age = 48

According to the question:

5x + x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48

6

x = 8

Therefore,

x ( mohan's age ) = 8

5x ( mohan's father age ) = 5×8 = 40
