Answer:

Since, Robin is twice as old as Earl,

Thus, the ratio of the age of robin and earl = 2 : 3

Let the age of robin = 2x and the age of earl = 3x

Where x is any number,

According to the question,

3×Age of Adam = 2x + 6

Age of Adam = 1/3(2x+6)

Also, Age of Adam = Age of earl - 8

⇒ 1/3(2x+6) = 3x - 8

⇒ 2x + 6 = 9x - 24

⇒ -7x = - 30

⇒ x = 30/7

Hence, the age of Robin = 2x = 2×30/7 = 60/7 years

The age of Earl = 3x = 3×30/7=90/7 years

The age of Adam = 34/7 years

<h3>What is a Ratio?</h3>

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

At the school play Abby handed out 250 programs and Kim handed out 300. Therefore, the ratio of the number of programs Abby handed out to the number programs Kim handed out is,

Ratio = (Number of programs Abby handed out)/(Number of programs Kim handed out)
