Answer 2

CORRECT QUESTION:

The ages of Javiera and Renato are in the ratio 2: 5. If adding their ages results in 35, what is Renato's age?

ANSWER:

RENATO IS 25 YEARS OLD.

GIVEN:

• AGE OF JAVERIA AND RENATO ARE IN THE RATIO OF 2 : 5
• SUM OF THEIR AGES IS EQUAL TO 35.

TO FIND:

• THE AGE OF RENATO.

EXPLANATION:

Let Renato's age be 5x and Javeria's age be 2x

• 2x + 3x = 35

• 7x = 35

• x = 5

• Substitute in 5x and 2x

• AGE OF JAVERIA = 2(5) = 10

• AGE OF RENATO = 5(5) = 25

WE REQUIRED ONLY THE AGE OF RENATO WHICH IS EQUAL TO 25.
