Question

The ratio of Rogers age to his sons is 7:3. If the sum of their ages are 60 how old is Rogers son

Answer 1

Answer:24

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of their ages is 60 yr. As such

7x + 3x = 60

10x = 60

x = 60 / 10

x = 6

The rationale is 6, therefore

Father's age is 7x = 7 × 6= 42 years

Son's age is 3x = 3 × 6 = 18 years

Difference in their ages

42 - 18 = 24 years
