You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jamar is four times as old as Pam,
jr = 4p
:
who is one-third as old as jackie.
p = ja
or
ja = 3p
:
if jackie is 18,
ja = 18
Therefore
3p = 18
p = 6 yrs is Pam's age
and
jr = 4p
therefore
jr = 24 yrs is Jamar's age
:
what is the sum of their age?
24 + 6 + 18 = 48
