Question

Sahil's mother is five times as old as Sahil. If sum of their age is 48 years, find their age


​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Sahil be 'x' years

Sahil's mother age = 5x

Sum of their ages = 48

$\implies$ $5x+x=48$

$\implies$ $6x=48$

$\implies$ $x={\Large\frac{48}{6}}$

$\implies$ $x=8$

Sahil's age = x = 8 years

His mother's age = 5x = 5(8) = 40 years.

Answer 2

Sahil is 8 years old and his mother is 40 years old.

Given:

• Sahil's mother is five times as old as Sahil.
• The sum of their age is 48 years

To find:

Sahil and his mother's age.

Solution:

Let the age of Sahil be 'x' years.

Sahil's mother is five times as old as Sahil so we can write it as,

5x

Sum of their ages = 48

We can write it mathematically as,

x + 5x = 48

6x = 48

x = 8

Sahil's age is 8 years then his mother's age is,

5x= 5 * 8 =40.

Hence, Sahil is 8 years old and his mother is 40 years old.
