The ratio of Steve's age to Tims age is 6:7. If Steve is 84, how old is Tim?
6/7 = 84/x
6x = 588
x = 98
To find out Tim's age, we first need to determine the value of the ratio between Steve's age and Tim's age.
The given ratio is 6:7, which means that for every 6 units of Steve's age, there are 7 units of Tim's age. Since we know that Steve is 84 years old, we can use this information to find Tim's age.
To do this, we can set up a proportion:
Steve's age / Tim's age = Ratio
84 / Tim's age = 6 / 7
We can then solve for Tim's age by cross-multiplying:
6 * Tim's age = 7 * 84
6 * Tim's age = 588
Now, we can isolate Tim's age by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
Tim's age = 588 / 6
Tim's age = 98
Therefore, Tim is 98 years old.
