Question

Ratio of present ages of two sisters olli and Mill, is 5:4,
6 years ago, ratio of their ages was 3:2. Find their
present ages.​

Answer 1

Here’s ur answer :

Let’s present ages be 5x and 6x ......(eq1)


Their ages 6 years ago will be :
5x-6 and 6x-6 ............. (eq 2 )

But they have given the ratio of their ages 6 years ago as 3 :2 ........ (eq 3)

So equate 2 and 3 -

5x-6 / 6x-6 = 3/2
2 ( 5x -6 ) = 3 ( 6x - 6 )
10x -12 = 18x - 18
18x -10x = 18-12
8x = 6
X = 6/8 = 3/4


So present ages are 15/4 and 3 years

I think the values or my calculation some error but this is how the steps will be ....

Pls marks as brainliest... I wanna go the next level pls....
