i believe 11.
her father would have to be 6 * 11 = 66
66 and 11 = 77.
you would solve as follows:
you are given that the father is 6 times as old as june.
let F = the father's age.
let J = june's age
the equation for that is F = 6J.
you are given that the sum of their ages is no less than 77.
the equation for that is F + J >= 77
your two equations that need to be solved simultneously are:
F = 6J
F + J >= 77
since F = 6J from the first equation, replace F with 6J in the second equation to get:
6J + J >= 77
combine like terms to getr 7J >= 77
divide both sides of that equation by 7 to get J >= 11.
the youngest june can be is 11 years old.
that makes her father 6 * 11 = 66
that makes the sum of their ages equal to 66 + 11 = 77.
