Question 1055850
You are 3 times older than your younger sister and you are 12 years old. Write an equation and solve for your younger sister's age. Will you be 3 times her age next year?
----
You:: 12 years
Sister = (1/3)12 = 4 years
-------------------------
Next year::
You:: 12+1 = 13 yrs
Sister:: 4+1 = 5
--------
Ans: 13 is not three times 5
----------------
Cheers,
Stan H.
