Answer 1

Answer :-

Given :-

• Ratio of age of son to the age of father = 4 : 7
• Sum of their ages = 88 years

To Find :-

• Father's age

Solution :-

Let the age of son be 4x

Age of father = 7x

According to the question :-

→ Sum of their ages = 88

→ 4x + 7x = 88

→ 11x = 88

→ x = 88 / 11

→ x = 8

• Age of son = 8 × 4 = 32
• Age of father = 8 × 7 = 56

Age of father = 56 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Father age = 56 years

son age = 32 years

Step-by-step explanation:

4:7

let the terms be 4x and 7x

then ,

4x + 7x = 88

x = 8

Father = 7 x 8

= 56

son = 8 x 4

= 32
