Omar and Jacobs ages total 24 years. Omar is 3 times as old as JasonHow old is Jacob

Answer: Jason is 6 years old. Because "3 times as old as Jason" means that Jason is X and Omar is 3X or 3 times X.

And they both age together which means it is sum.

So 3X plus X = 24 which is 4X = 24

U need to divide by 4 and it leaves X to be 6 so the answer is Jason is 6 and Omar is 3 times 6 which is 18

To check answer: 18 plus 6 is equal to 24 which is the correct answer

Answer:Jacob is 6
