2m + 5 = 10 sister’s age?
Ratio
• 5 + 5 = 10, so 2m must equal 5. Write the ratio as simply as possible. Paul : Sister
21-6 = 15 so 21 (÷ 3): 15 (÷ 3)
• 2 x 2 ½ is 5, so m must equal 2 ½ Paul’s sister is 15 simplifies to

sister’s age?
3t + 4 = t + 13 Write the ratio as simply as possible. Paul : Sister
• Partition 3t + 4 to make 2t + t + 4 ? : 36
Paul’s age is 6 more than his
• This gives 2t+t+4 = t + 13
sister, so his age must be 42.
• Remove t from both sides thus 42 (÷6) : 36 (÷6)
keeping the equation balanced. 7 : 6
• 2t + 4 = 13
• 9 + 4 = 13, so 2t = 9 (c) Could the ratio of their ages ever be 7 : 7?
