If someone is 2/3's older than someone else how is that written algebraically
----------------------
If you are x yrs old
Your father may be x + (2/3)x yrs. old
----------------------------
Equation:
F = (1 + (2/3))Y
F = (5/3)Y
This equation means "your father's age is (5/3)times your age",
which means he is 2/3 older than you.
