Tanya`s grandfather was 8 times older to her 16years ago.He would be 3 times of her age 8 years from now.Eight years ago,what was the ratio of tanya`s age to that of her grand father?

Answer 1

ages now: t and g
16 years ago, (g-16) = 8(t-16)
8 years from now, (g+8) = 3(t+8)

Hmmm. solving those two equation, I don't get integer solutions. That's ok, but unusual. If I have gotten something wrong, fix it and follow through, finishing with the ratio

(t-8)/(g-8)

I get 11/53 with what I wrote

Answer 2

how u got 11/53?
