Answer:
30 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ratio of age = 3 : 1 = 3x : x ( x is a multiplier )
Six years ago their age ratio was
3x - 6 : x - 6 = 6 : 1 ← express in fractional form
=
( cross- multiply )
6(x - 6) =3 x - 6
6x - 36 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
3x - 36 = - 6 ( add 36 to both sides )
3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 10
Thus their present ages are
mother = 3x = 3 × 10 = 30
daughter = x = 10
Tom took a trip of 1,020 miles . He traveled by train at 55 miles an hour and the same number of hours by plane at 285 mph . How many hours did the trip take
Distance travelled by Tom in train in 1 hr = 55 miles
Distance travelled by Tom by plane in 1 hr = 285 miles
Total distance travelled by Tom in 1 hr = 285+55 = 340 miles
Time taken by Tom to travel a distance of 340 miles = 1 hr
Time taken by Tom to travel a distance of 1,020 miles = 1,020/340 = 3 hrs
