Question 753222: The present ages of Emeka and his son are in the ratio 7:2 and son ages is 14. What would be the ratio of their ages in 6 years time? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If Emeka and his son's ages are in the ratio
of 7:2 and his son's age is 14, then Emeka
must be 49.
In six years Emeka will be 55 and his son, 20.
The ratio will then be 55:20 or 11:4
