If someone was born on December 28th 1981 how old would they be?

Answer 1

For a birth date of 28 December 1981, and you would like to figure out how old they are today (April 2010), you would do some subtraction.

Subtract the birth year from the current year: 2010 - 1981 = ?

Your answer is twenty-nine. But, when you figuring out age, you need to look a bit closer--has this person had their birthday yet? If yes, you can stay with your original answer.

If not, then you need to re-figure, and subtract from the year of their last birthday. In this case, since the person has not had their 2010 birthday, you would need to subtract the birth year from last year--2009. So, you would have 2009 - 1981 equaling twenty-eight.

Easier yet, figure out if the person has had their birthday the current year or not, and then subtract from the appropriate year. (sometimes, there is more than one way to get to a correct answer)
