This text is difficult to understand, because of bad wording.
As I understand, this assignment is not from a textbook (no one textbook will place such a text).
My feeling is that somebody tries to create his own problem.
There is nothing bad in it.
The only problem is to do it correctly.
In this site, there is the entire bunch of lessons on age word problems:
- Age problems and their solutions
- A fresh formulation of a traditional age problem
- Really intricate age word problem
- Selected age word problems from the archive
- Age problems for mental solution
- One unusual age word problem
My advise is: look in them to be familiar with the terminology.
Good luck and happy learning !!
