Question

The ages of Aleena and Aleesha are in the ratio 4:5. Five years from now
the ratio of their ages will be 5:6. Find their present ages

Answer 1

let's make the equations

let aleena's age /4 be x

so aleena's age will be 4x

and aleena's age will 5x

now thier ages are 4x/5x

after 5 years, meaning 4x+5 and 5x+5

thier ages will be 5 and 6 times

4x+5/5x+5=5/6

24x+30 = 25x+25

-x= -5

x=5

Aleena's age = 4x = 20

Aleesha's age= 5x= 25
