Question

the ratio of age of father and son is 14:3.If the age of father is 56, what is the age of son?​

Answer 1

Answer:

son's age is 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Father: son

14 : 3

let father's age be 14x and son's be 3x

but,

father's age is 56

hence

14x= 56

X= 56/14

x = 4

therefore, son's age is 3x = 3(4)= 12
