Question

Andy is two-fifths of Ruth's age. If Ruth is ten, how old is Andy? Type just the number in the box.

Answer 1

Andy is 4 years old.

Explanation:

Given:

Ruth age = 10

We need to find Andy age.

Let the age of Andy be x.

Also given Andy is two-fifths of Ruth's age.

Expressing the above statement in expression form we get

`x= (2)/(5)* Ruth's\ age= (2)/(5)* 10 = 4`

Hence Andy is 4 years old.
