The ratio of Tom's age to his nephew's age is 3:1 . The difference in their ages is 24 years.How old is Tom now?


Sagot :

Answer:

36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom's age : Nephew's age = 3 : 1

Tom's age = 3x

His nephew's age = x

Difference of age = 24 years

3x - x = 24

2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2

x = 24/2

x = 12

Tom's age = 3*12 = 36
