Question

Jason's age is one-fourth of his father's age. 28 years later, Jason's age will be three-fifths of his father's. How old was Jason's father when Jason was born?

Answer 1

8 years old

Step by Step Explaination:

Let x = Jason's age now

4x = father's age now

x+28 = Jason's age in 28 years and 4x+28 = father's age in 28 years

x+28 = (3/5)(4x+28)

5x+140 = 12x+ 84

7x = 56

x = 8
