Question

The ratio of the age of p and c is 7:9. If the age of c is 72 years. Let's find the age of p.

Answer 1

Answer:

56 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ratio = x

Ratio = 7x : 9x

Total Ratio = 16x

c's age = 72 years

9x/16 = 72 years

x = 128

Age of p = 7x/16

= 7 × 128 /16

= 56 years

Answer 2

Answer:

age of P is 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

the given ratio is 7:9

so now let's take 7 - P

and 9 - C

now C's age is 72

when we divide 72/9

we will get = 8

then now multiple 8 with 7

8*7 = 56

= 56 : 72

= 7 : 9

hence proved
