Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years

Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem has got to be addition.
The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.
A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.
A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.
The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.
Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.
I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.
