Joe's present age is 2/7th of his father's present age. Joe's brother is 3 years older to Joe. The respective ratio between present ages of Joe's father and Joe's father is 14:5. What is Joe's present age
Let the present age of Joe's father be x years.
Joe's present age = 2/7x
Brother's present age = 2/7x+3
According to question,
x÷2/7x+3 = 14/5
5x=4x+42
x=42 years
Hence, Joe's present age = 2/7×42
=12 years
