Maybe offer to make a deal with them where if you get all A's in your normal classes you can quit. It really depends on why you're taking the class in the first place. If it's not affecting your grades in any way, maybe it's best to just stay for the benefits of it.
In 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:1, so the difference in their ages will be 4 ratio units. Those 4 units correspond to 32 years, so each unit corresponds to 32/4 = 8 years.
Thus, in 5 years, Kate will be 8 and her father will be 40. Right now, Kate is ...
... 8 - 5 = 3 years old.
_____
<em>Using equations</em>
Let k represent Kate's current age. Then in 5 years Kate will be k+5, and we will have ...
... 5(k+5) = (k+5)+32 . . the relationship betewen their ages in 5 years
... 5k +25 = k +37 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 4k = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . add -25-k
... k = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Kate is 3 years old.
