Answer:
5 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Jason's original weight = 120 pounds
Let the no. of months be m
If he gains 10 pounds in each moth , then his weight in m months will be = 10m
His total weight will be= 120+10m -----(1)
Gerardo's original weight = 150 pounds
If he gains 4 pounds in each month , then his weight in m months will me =4m
His total weight will be = 150+4m-----(2)
Equating (1) ans(2)
120+10m=150+4m
=>10m-4m=150-120
=>6m=30
=>m=[tex]\frac{30}{6}[/tex]
=>m=5
It will take 5 months for Jason to weigh the same as Gerardo
