Question

1/3 rd of Carol's age is twice as much as Mary's age. What is the ratio of Carol's age to Mary's age?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Carol's age be represented by "C" and Mary's age by "M".

According to the problem, we know that:

1/3 C = 2M

To solve for C, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

C = 6M

Now we can find the ratio of Carol's age to Mary's age:

C/M = 6M/M = 6

Therefore, the ratio of Carol's age to Mary's age is 6:1
