Jan's age = [tex] 4\frac{5}{6}[/tex] years
Sister's age =[tex] 9\frac{2}{3} \: years[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Jan's age = x years
Sister's age = 2x years
Brother's age = 3x years
According to the given condition:
x + 2x + 3x = 29
6x = 29
x = 29/6
x = [tex] 4\frac{5}{6}[/tex] years
2x = [tex] 2\times \frac{29}{6}= \frac{29}{3}=9\frac{2}{3} \: years[/tex]
Therefore,
Jan's age = [tex] 4\frac{5}{6}[/tex] years
Sister's age =[tex] 9\frac{2}{3} \: years[/tex]
