Question

. The ages of Simmy and Jimmy are in the ratio 6:8. Five years from now the ratio of their
ages will be 4:5. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Present age of Simmy = 15 yearsand Present age of Jimmy = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Simmy be 6x years

and the present age of Jimmy be 8x years.

$So, \frac{6x + 5}{8x + 5} = \frac{4}{5} \\ = > 32x + 20 = 30x + 25 \\ = > 2x = 5 \\ = > x = \frac{5}{2} years$

So, Present age of Simmy = 15 years

and Present age of Jimmy = 20 years
