Ten years ago, P was half of Q in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, what will be the total of their present ages?
(check and modify) Let the present age of P and Q be 3x and 4x respectively.
Ten years ago, P was half of Q in age
=> (3x – 10) = ½ (4x – 10)
=> 6x – 20 = 4x – 10
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 5
total of their present ages = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 × 5 = 35
When James turns 9, his height is 1.20 m.
His height increases by 0.06 m a year during the next 5 years.
What will James height be when James turns 14?
