Question 166964: What is the meaning of Age in word problems? and give examples
Answer by midwood_trail(310)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Age word problems are about the age(s) of people in the present, past or future.
How old is Tom? How old was Rita 3 years ago?
Here are two samples:
(1) In three more years, Miguel's grandfather will be six times as old as Miguel was last year. When Miguel's present age is added to his grandfather's present age, the total is 68. How old is each one now?
(2) One-half of Rita's age two years from now plus one-third of her age three years ago is twenty years. How old is she now?
