Three years back, a father was 24 years older than his son. At present the father is 5 times as old as the son. How old will the son be three years from now?
WORK IT OUT PLEASE!!
A)
5.47 hours
In this problem the hint word is the father is 5 times older and the father is 24 years older you would divide 24 by 5 and get 4.8 you will keep the 4 and then multiply 24x5 and get 120 and then you would get 120 divided by 5 to get 24 so your answer is 4.24 or D)
if the father and son are 24 years apart then the father was 24 when the son was 0 when the son was 3 the father was 27 three years later the son turned 6 and the father 30 (6 multiplied by 5 is 30) add 3 to 6 and youget a son that is 9 and a fiather that is 33
