Question

Sum of the ages of A and B is 55 years. If the ratio of their ages is 6:5. find their ages...

Answer 1

Answer:

A's age = 6x = 6 × 5 = 30 years.

B's age = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

here's the solution : -

let their ages be 6x and 5x

and we know sum of their ages = 55

So, 6x + 5x = 55

=》11x = 55

=》x = 55 ÷ 11

=》x = 5

A's age = 6x = 6 × 5 = 30 years.

B's age = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 years

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

=> sum of ages of both A and B = 55

=> let the ratio be in x

=> now, ratio is 5x and 6x

=> a/q , 6x + 5x = 55

=> 11x = 55

=> x = 55/11

=> x = 5

age of A = 6*5 = 30 years

age of B = 5*5 = 25 years
