a person's IQ is given by the formula IQ= (MA/CA)*100 where CA is chronological age. If 80 <= IQ <= 140 for a group of 12 years old children, find the range of their mental ages.
------------------------
80 <= (MA/12)*100 <= 140
-------------------------------
Multiply by 12 along the line to get:
960 <= 100*MA <= 1680
-----
Divide by 100 along the line to get the answer::
9.6 <= MA <= 16.8
