Question 909134:  age of 2 persons 4:5 and one 30 years older than the other now find sum of their ages 
 
 Answer by JulietG(1812)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! If I'm understanding the problem correctly, there are two people whose ages are 30 years apart, and whose ages have a ratio of 4:5. 
In that case, we want that ratio to have a difference of 30. 
4*30:5*30 
120:150 
Sum is 270 (and an impossibility)
