Question

Find out

Answer 1

To find out how many years ago Sally's mother was times her age, we can set up the following equation:

(80 - x = 54 \times x)

Solving for 'x' (the number of years ago), we get:

(80 - x = 54x) (80 = 54x + x) (80 = 55x) (x = \frac{80}{55}) (x \approx 1.45)

Therefore, approximately 1.45 years ago, Sally's mother was times her age.
