Question 116756: Hello!
On monday i was given a problem of the week sheet and i have been trying to figure it out but i can not and this is do tomorrow so i really really need your help! If you be so nice and help me would be great and i will so much apreciate it! Would you please help me find out Milo's age, His mother, and Grandfather?

Milo's age is the same as his grandfather's with the digits reversed.
The difference in the ages has to be at least 40 years
Try reasonable numbers like 17/71, 18,81,...26/62,27/72,28/82...etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The product of their ages gives a year during World War II.
World War II took place between 1941 and 1946
Try some of the product till you find one between 1941 and 1996
27*72 = 1944
---------------------------------------------
If Milo's mother is twice as old as Milo, then how old is Milo, his mother, and his grandfather?
Milo is 27
Milo's mother is 2*27 = 54
Grandfather is 72

Explain in detail how you found your answer using words, numbers, and/or pictures.
