True or False. John's father is 60. In 4 years John will be half his age. John is 32.
How did you come up with the answer?
Step 1. Let 60+4=64 be the age of John's father in four years. Half of this age is 32 years old.
Step 2. Given John is 32 now. But in 4 years he will be 32+4=36 years.
Step 3. But 32 in Step 1 is NOT equal to 36 in Step 2.
Step 4. ANSWER is False.
I hope the above steps were helpful.
