Question

The ratio of ben’s to shabu’s Age is 2:8 respectively. If the total of their ages is 90, how old is Ben?

Answer 1

18.

Explanation:

First, add the ratio numbers together: 2 + 8 = 10

Next, divide the total age from the added ratio: 90/10 = 9

Each "one" represents 9.

Ben is the "two", so multiply 2 with 9: 9 x 2 = 18

Ben's age is 18.
