Question 807790: the ratio of present ages of daughter and her mother is 2:9. mother's age at the time of birth of daughter is 28. find the present age of mother. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the common multiple be x
then
daughter's age = 2x
mom's age = 9x
when daughter was born
9x-2x=28
7x=28
/7
x=4
daughter's age = 2x = 2*4 =8 years
Mom's age = 9x = 9*4=36 years
