Question

The total age of two sisters is 108 years

Answer 1

Answer:

7 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of the younger be x , then the older is x + 18, thus

x + x + 18 = 108, that is

2x + 18 = 108 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

2x = 90 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 45

Thus younger is 45 and older is 45 + 18 = 63

ratio older : younger = 63 : 45 = 7 : 5
