Question

The ages of Maria and joy are in the ratio 5:3 If the sum of their ages is 40.Find their ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Maria = 25

Joy = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 5:3

Maria's part = 5/8

Maria's age = 5/8 x 40

                   = 5 x 5

                   = 25 years.

Joy's Part = 3/8

Joy's age = 3/8 x 40

                = 3 x 5

                = 15 years.
