You can find a unit rate when given a rate by dividing the the second number in the rate (if you had 3:4, you would divide 4) by the same number. (in the problem I gave you, you would divide 4 by 4 to get 1 then divide 3 by 4.) Then you would have the unit rate. Sorry if that didn't make any sense.

Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44
