Answer:

54 years old

Explanation:

Because the son is 24 years old, we know that that is 6 times the '4' in the ratio 9:4 therefore if we do 6*9=54 that is the age of his father!

Answer:

The father is 54 years old

Explanation:

Well from the ratio 9:4

We know the son is 24

we can divide 24/4 to get 6

now we know we have to multiply by 6 on each side of the ratio to get the final result

54:24
