Question 1
Marcus is 2/11 of Delilah's age. After 22 years, Marcus will be 1/5 of Delilah's age. Find Marcus's present age.
Let Delilah = x, then Marcus = 2/11x
After 22 years: 2/11x + 22 = 1/5(x + 22)
Solving gives x = 66, so Marcus = 12
After 22 years: 2/11x + 22 = 1/5(x + 22)
Solving gives x = 66, so Marcus = 12
