Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of their ages is 9 : 7 = 9x : 7x ( x is a multiplier ) , then
9x = 7x + 8 ( Jameelah is 8 years older than Anna )
Subtract 7x from both sides
2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 4 , then
7x = 7 × 4 = 28
That is Anna is 28
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us take , age of Anna be x , then the age of Jameelah = x + 8 . Also the ratio of ages is 9:7 . So ,
According to the Question :-
[tex]:\implies[/tex] x + 8/x = 9/7
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 7( x + 8) = 9x
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 7x + 56 = 9x
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 9x - 7x = 56
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 2x = 56
[tex]:\implies[/tex] x = 28
