Subtract the difference from the total, then divide by 2, that would be the age of the youngest, then add the difference to that for the age of the oldest.



37 - 5 = 32

32 / 2 = 16

The youngest is 16.


16 + 5 = 21

The oldest is 21.


The ages are 16 and 21.

5/8 divided by 3/4 what the answer
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3

When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!

So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3

Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20

Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24

Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24

Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.  

20 divided by 4 = 5

24 divided by 4 = 6

So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.
