Question

the ages of priya and riya are in the ratio of 3:5. If the sum of their ages is 56 years,then find their ages​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be x

Therefore 3x and 5x

Sum of the ages is 56

Forming Equation:-

3x+5x=56

8x=56

x=56/8

x=7

Therefore

Age of Priya - 3*7=21

Age of Riya - 5*7=35

Answer 2

Let the age of priya be 3x

let the age of riya be 5x

as the sum of their ages is 56,

5x+3x=56

8x=56

therefore,

x=7

Now,

age of priya is 3x

=3*7

=21

age of riya is 5x

=5*7

=35

Hence the age of priya and riya are 21 and 35 respectively.
