Jay has spent 3/8 of his life working for his current company. If Jay has been 8 3working for his current company for 15 years, how old is he?

40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jay has spent 3/8 of his life working for his current company and it is stated that he has been at the current company for 15 years, we can divide 15 years by 3 to find out how much a single part of the fraction (1/8) is.

15 / 3 = 5 years

5 years = 1/8

Now that we know how many years is a single part of his life we simply multiply this value by 8 to calculate how many years would equal his total life or in other words how old Jay currently is.

5 years * 8 = 40 years old

answer: x=3 and y=4
