Question

sum of the ages of x and y is 55 years if the ratio of their ages is 6 : 5 , find their ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the common multiple be 'x'

a=6x

b=5x

Sum of ages = 55years

a+b =55

6x+5x = 55

11x= 55

x = 55/11

x = 5

a= 6x

= 6×5

= 30

b = 5x

= 5×5

= 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

_____________________________________

GIVEN :-

• Sum Of Ages Of x and y = 55.

• Ratio Of Their Ages = 6 : 5.

TO FIND :-

• Their Present Ages.

SOLUTION :-

☯️ Let,

The Age Of x = 6a.

The Age Of y = 5a.

$\bigstar \: \textsf{\textbf\red{According to the Question,}}$

6a + 5a = 55.

➙ 11a = 55.

➙ a = 55/11.

➙ a = 5.

Now,

• Age Of x = 6a = 6 × 5 = 30.

• Age Of y = 5a = 5 × 5 = 25.

$\small\therefore\textsf{\textbf{Their ages are 30 and 25 respectively.}}$
