Answer :
Hank is 9 years old. Explanation - What I did is I made a chart, and the categories were Sam and Hank. Then all I did was add 5 to Sam's age and added 3 to Hank's age. I repeated this until the sum of the ages equaled 24.
5:3 :Sum is: 8
10:6 :Sum is: 16
15:9 :Sum is: 24
The ration is of Sam to Hank, so Sam would be the first number, and Hank would be the second number.
Hank is 9 years old.
