Answer:

Vinita is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Smita is <u>twice</u> as old as Vinita, this means Smita is 2 times the age of Vinita. We can represent this in an equation, where the age of Vinita is x.

2x is the age of Smita.

x is the age of Vinita.

The sum of their ages is 24.

so we can write this as:

2x + x = 24

2x + x is 3x so,

3x = 24

Then divide each side by 2 to get x by itself.

x = 8

Hence, Vinita is 8 years old.
