x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>
Ok, MissWalker! Please try your best to understand this, it may get confusing.
I have solved this on a different website, and here is my solving in a picture. I hope I helped!!! :D
The correct answer is real numbers
There are 6 children total, 4 of which are girls. The ratio is 2:1 girls:boys, so there will need to be twice as many pinks as there are blues. If we get 12 pinks, then there will be 6 blues. That's the biggest since that's all the pinks the florist has.
