The repeated identity is the age of Andy's daughter. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The difference in age between Andy and Andy's daughter remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Andy and Andy's daughter
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
10 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 10 = 2
His niece's present age
= 3 u - 4
= 3 x 2 - 4
= 6 - 4
= 2
Andy's present age
= 15 u - 4
= 15 x 2 - 4
= 30 - 4
= 26
His niece's present age as a fraction of Andy's present age
=
