Answer 1

Present age:

Father = 50 years old

Son = 20 years old

Find the number of years ago when the father was 35 years old:

50 - 35 = 15 years ago:

Find their age 15 years ago:

Father = 50 - 15 = 35 years old

Son = 20 - 15 = 5  years old

Find the ratio:

Father : Son = 35 : 5

Simplify:

Father : Son = 7 : 1

Answer: The ratio is 7 : 1
