Final answer:

By setting up and solving equations, Kaido's age is found to be 11 years, Hiroshi's is 17 years, and Saitama's is 51 years, making their age ratio 11:17:51.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the problem by setting up equations based on the information given:

  • Let Kaido's age be k.
  • Hiroshi is 6 years older than Kaido, so Hiroshi's age is k + 6.
  • Saitama is three times as old as Hiroshi, so Saitama's age is 3(k + 6).
  • The sum of their ages is 79: k + (k + 6) + 3(k + 6) = 79.

To find the ages, let's combine like terms and solve the equation:

  • k + k + 6 + 3k + 18 = 79
  • 5k + 24 = 79
  • 5k = 79 - 24
  • 5k = 55
  • k = 11

Having found Kaido's age, we can calculate Hiroshi's and Saitama's ages:

  • Kaido's age (k) is 11 years.
  • Hiroshi's age (k + 6) is 17 years.
  • Saitama's age (3(k + 6)) is 51 years.

Now, the ratio of their ages is 11:17:51.
