The ratio of SAMs age to hank is 5 to 3. If the sum of their age is 24. How old is is hank?

Sagot :

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
