.

In Math problems in English, " 5 times older " means " 6 times as old ".

Is it what you want to say ?

Comment from student: Wait, Do you need me to rephrase it?

My response : What I need is to have a correct formulation of the problem from the customer (not that created by me).

If you have it, then post it to the forum.

Please do not post it to me personally.
