Answer:
48 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the complete question is "The ratio of ages of kissi and esinam is 3:5 and that of esinam and lariba is 3:5. The sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years. whats the age difference between oldest and youngest ?"
It is given that
Kissi : Esinam = 3:5 = 9:15
Esinam : Lariba = 3:5 = 15:25
So, the combined ratio is Kissi : Esinam : Lariba = 9:15:25
Let ages of Kissi, Esinam, Lariba are 9x, 15x and 25x.
Sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years.
[tex]9x+15x+25x=147[/tex]
[tex]49x=147[/tex]
[tex]x=3[/tex]
The value of x is 3. So, the age of all three are
[tex]Kissi=9x=9(3)=27[/tex]
[tex]Esinam=15x=15(3)=45[/tex]
[tex]Lariba=25x=25(3)=75[/tex]
Since Lariba is oldest and Kissi is youngest, therefore, the difference between their ages is
[tex]75-27=48[/tex]
Hence, difference between oldest and youngest is 48 years.
