Question

The ratio of Chris, Gary and John age is 1:3:3

respectively. If the total of their ages is 56, how old is
Chris?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

If we say the there ages is x

it would be x+3x+3x=56

and lets say the x=8

then 8+24+24

That would mean Chris should be 8.

I think it would.

Answer 2

Chris is 8 years old

Explanation:

If you add the ratio together, it becomes 7

Divide 56/7 -> 8

1*8=8

Chris is 8
