Question

The age difference between funke and uche is 6years. Five years ago, the ratio of their age was 7:5 find funke's age (assuming funke is older).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Chioma is older than Chidi by 5 years. Three years ago, the ratio of their ages was 5:3. What is the present age of Chidi?

Let assume the age of Chidi is X and that of Chioma is Y

Y=X+5

5 years ago

3(Y-5)=5(X-5)

3Y-15=5X-25

5X-3Y=25–15=10

replacing the value of Y

5X-3(X+5)=10

5X-3X-15=10

5X-3X=25

2X=25

X=12.5years and Y=17.5
