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 years

and Present age of Jimmy = 20 years

Explanation:

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.

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

So,

8x+5

6x+5

=

5

4

=>32x+20=30x+25

=>2x=5

=>x=

5

years

So, Present age of Simmy = 15 years

and Present age of Jimmy = 20 years

Answer 2

Explanation:

let the present age of Simmy = 6x

let the present age of Jimmy = 8 x

Five years from now 6x+5/8x+5 = 4/5

30x+25 = 32x+20

30x-32x=20-25

-2x=-5

x=2/5

so present age of Simmy = 15

present age of Jimmy = 20

ANSWER = present age of Simmy = 15

present age of Jimmy = 20
