The least common multiple of 7 and 8 would be 56
Let Sam be (S+8) years while his sister is S years.
S(S+8) = 105
S^2+8S-105 = 0
(S+15)(S-7) = 0
Sam’s sister is 7 years and Sam is 15 years old.
X + 2 = 3/5(10) - 3
x + 2 = 6 - 3
x + 2 = 3
x = 3 - 2
x = 1 <=== ur number
Ratio 5:2 as fraction should be 5/2
as you know 5/2 = 2.5
This is the biggest compared to 9/5, 8/5 and 2/7
9/5 < 2
8/5 <2
2/7 < 1
so 5/2 is greatest
