Ages

John, Teresa, Daniel and Paul have summary 56 years. Their ages are in a ratio of 1:2:5:6. Determine how many years have each of them.

Result

j =  4
t =  8
d =  20
p =  24

Solution:

x=56/(1+2+5+6)=4 j=1⋅ x=1⋅ 4=4x = 56/(1+2+5+6) = 4 \ \\ j = 1 \cdot \ x = 1 \cdot \ 4 = 4
t=2⋅ x=8t=2 \cdot \ x = 8
d=5⋅ x=20d=5 \cdot \ x = 20
p=6⋅ x=24p=6 \cdot \ x = 24
