2.) If you add Ginger and her
grandmother's
ages together it
would be 66. Her grandmouer
is ten times older than Ginger.
What are the ages of each
person?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let us consider the Ginger to be x years old.

Therefore, her grandmother will be 10x years old(10 times Ginger's age)

So,

10x+x=66

(adding both Ginger and her grandmother's age)

11x=66

(adding x and 10x)

x=66/11

x=6

Ginger's age is 6.

Her grandmother is 10 times her age.

Therefore she is 60 years old.
