Question

The ratio of ashas and her brothers age is 4:3 .if there are still 8 months for her to complete 25 years ,how old is her brother

Answer 1

Answer:

18 years and 3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ashas age be 4x years and her brother's age be 3x years.

Given, Ashas  age is 25 years - 8 months

= 24 years + 4 months = 24 years + 4/12 years = 73/3 years.

Now, 4x = 73/3

x = 73/12

3x = 73/4 = 18 years + 1/4 years = 18 years + 3 months

Hence, her brother is 18 years and 3 months old.

Answer 2

Given: Ratio of age of asha and brother is 4:3

To find: Her brothers age

Solution:

• Since we have given the ratio of their ages, so let the common ratio be 'x'.

• Now let Asha's age = 4x  and

• Brother's age = 3x

• We have been provided that asha has not completed 25 years and still 8 months are remaining,

• So Ashas  age is 25 years - 8 months

           25(12) - 8 = 292 months

           = 73/3 years.

• So lets compare the age,

          asha's age:

         4x = 73/3

            x = 73/12

• Her brother's age:

          3x = 73/4 =

         18 years + 1/4 years

         = 18 years + 3 months

Answers:

             So the age of asha's brother is  18 years and 3 months
