the age of two people has the ratio of 6:5 and by adding ages we get 44,after how many years the ratio would be 8:7

• let ages are, 6x & 5x.
  so,according to prblm;
  6x+5x=44
  x=4
  then present ages are, 24 & 20
  again let after y yrs the ratio will be 8:7
  therefore, (24+y)/(20+y)=8/7
  solving the equation we get, y=8
  so,ans is 8 yrs.

• we take two people x and y than
  x/y=6/5
  x+y=44
  than y=20,x=24,now we take after a year
  24+a/24+a=8/7
  than x=8 ater 8 years ratio between x and y would be 8/7
  ans:8

• 11x=44
  >> x=4
  24 30
  after 8 yrs

• since the ratio is 6:5,
  thus 6x+5x=44
  11x=44
  x=4.
  The exact value of 6:5 would be 24 : 20
  And thus for 8:7 ,the common value to be multiplied is same.,
  so for 8:7 -> 8(5):7(5)-> 32:28.
  On finding the difference between their ratio values,it is 8.
  Hence the answer is 8

• let the ages be 6x and 5x
  then 6x+5x=44
  so x=4
  so age of 1st person=6*4=24
  age of 2nd person=5*4=20
  now let the number of years be y, then
  (24+y)/(20/y)=8/7
  Solving this we get y=8
  so after 8 years their ratio will 8:7
  ans:8
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• ans-8
  let, 6:5 as 6x and 5x
  so 6x+5x=44 ,x=4 and 6x=24 and 5x=20
  now let,after y years ratio would be 8:7
  so (24+y)/(20+y)=(8/7)
  y=8
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let the two people be A and B
  GIVEN: A+B=44
  A:B=6:5 => (A/B)=(6/5) => A=(6B/5)
  SOL: A+B =44
  ((6B/5)+B)=44 => B=20 and A=44-B=44-20=24
  A=24 and B=20
  let x years hence their ratio becomes 8:7
  (A+x):(B+x)=8:7
  => ((24+x)/ (20+x))=(8/7)
  => x= 8
  therefore, after 8 years their ratio becomes 8:7
  
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let ages are, 6x & 5x
  so, 6x + 5x = 44
  x=4
  So current ages is 24 & 20.
  let y years after ratio becomes 8:7
  (24+y)/(20+y)=8/7
  so y = 8 years

• Let x be the common factor.
  therefore 6x+5X=44
  i.e. 11x=44 therefore x=4
  So their ages are 6*4=24 and 5*4=20
  now as their ages are 24 and 20 le us consider after x years their
  age ration will be 8:7
  then the equation becomes: (24+x)/(20+x)=8/7
  then value of x=8.
  Therefore after 8 years the ration would be 8:7
  
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• the age is 24 AND 20
  (24+x)/(20+x)=5/8
  solving x = 8 years
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Ans:8 years
  let the year be x.Then 6x+5x=44.
  x=4.the two peoples ages are 24,20.
  now (6x+2x)/(5x+2x)=8x/7x=8:7.so year to be add is 2x=8.

• 24:20=6:5
  so
  after 4 years 8:7
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 6X+5X=44 ==> X=4
  Ages are 24,20
  After 8 years ages are 32 28
  their ratios are 8:7
