Answer 1

Answer:

Neelam's age is 28 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let neelam's age be x.

Sophia's age = 6

Neelam's age 7

=> 24 = 6

x 7

=> x = 24 X 7

6

=> x = 168

6

=> x = 28.

Answer 2

Answer:

The age of Neelam is equal to 28 years.

Explanation:

Given, the ratio of  Sophia's age and Neelam's age is 6 : 7.

Consider that the age of Sophia = 6x                              ..............(1)

The age of the Neelam = 7x                                             .............(2)

Given, the age of Sophia = 24 years

Now, from the equation (1), we get:

$6x = 24$

$x= 4$

Substitute the value of x in the equation (2) age of Neelam:-

Therefore age of Neelam $= 7\times 4 = 28 \;$ years

Therefore, the age of Neelam is equal to 28 years.

The ratio is used to describe the comparison of two quantities that indicates how much of one quantity will be present in other quantity.
