Out of 3 members in a family 2 are aged 20 years and 44 years. The third member is twice as old as the youngest person. Find the ratio of the family when their ages are arranged in descending order.

Here are some tips for solving ratio and proportion problems: - Read the ratio correctly: For example, 2 pink to 6 red should be expressed as 2:6, not 6:2. - Note the units in your calculations - The ratio between two quantities should be of the same kind - When comparing two ratios, their units must be similar - If the ratios are equal like a fraction, then only comparison of 2 ratios can be performed - In ratio, if both the antecedent and the consequent are multiplied or divided by the same number (except 0) then the ratio will remain the same - Write the ratios in their three...

Here are some tips for solving ratio and proportion problems:
- Read the ratio correctly: For example, 2 pink to 6 red should be expressed as 2:6, not 6:2.
- Note the units in your calculations
- The ratio between two quantities should be of the same kind
- When comparing two ratios, their units must be similar
- If the ratios are equal like a fraction, then only comparison of 2 ratios can be performed
- In ratio, if both the antecedent and the consequent are multiplied or divided by the same number (except 0) then the ratio will remain the same
- Write the ratios in their three different forms
- Set up a proportion
- Cross-multiply to find the missing value
