Answer:


Fraction = (20)/(43)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given


Cars = 23


Planes = 43

Required

Fraction of his age where he sold cars.

So, first we need to calculate the duration which he sold cars.


Duration = 43 - 23


Duration = 20

This means that he sold cars for 20 years.

To solve further, we'll assume that his current age is 43.

So, the fraction of his age is:


Fraction = (Duration)/(Current\ Age)

Substitute values for Duration and Current Age


Fraction = (20)/(43)
