One over four of morolake’s age nine year ago is the same as one over five of her age next year.How old is morolake now

1 answer

Let's assume Morolake's current age is x.
According to the given information, one over four of her age nine years ago is the same as one over five of her age next year.

1/4(x-9) = 1/5(x+1)
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 20 to get rid of the denominators:
5(x-9) = 4(x+1)
5x - 45 = 4x + 4
Rearranging the equation:
5x - 4x = 4 + 45
x = 49

Therefore, Morolake is currently 49 years old.
