Start off with: 5 1/6 - 1 5/9
turn it into an entire fraction: 31/6 - 14/9
make a common denominator (which is 18): 93/18 - 28/18 = 93 - 28 = 65/18
65/18 + 7 2/3 is the new equation
7 2/3 = 23/3
23/3 = 138/18
65/18 + 138/18 = 203/18
Simplify: 203/18 = 11 5/18
Answer: 11 5/18
Answer: 46 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:
Father = x - 3
son = y - 3
Then , from the first statement :
x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )
x - 3 = 3y - 9
x = 3y - 9 + 3
x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1
In five years time
father = x + 5
son = y + 5
Then , from the second statement
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 2y + 10
x = 2y + 10 - 5
x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have
3y -6 = 2y + 5
add 6 to both sides
3y = 2y + 5 + 6
subtract 2y from both sides
3y - 2y = 11
y = 11
substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(11) - 6
x = 33 - 6
x = 27
This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.
In four years time
father = 27 + 4 = 31
son = 11 + 4 = 15
sum of their ages in four years time will be
31 + 15 = 46 years
The answer is 10 u have to put 2/3 multiplied by 15/1
