If X = the age of the son and Y = the age of the father, then
X+Y=72, and
X=(0.5)Y, therefore
(0.5)Y + Y = 72, so
(1.5)Y= 72, so
Y=72/1.5 = 48
That means that Y=48, and therefore X=24
The father is 48 years old and the son is 24 years old.
There is not enough information to find the father, nor his age.The sum of their ages, in y years' time will be 7b + 2y years.
108 years Father = 72 Son = 36 (1/2 of father's) 72 + 36 = 108
If she was 30 when her son was born, then the minimum age she can be is 40 because the minimum age the kid can be is 10. That would make the father 50 because 40 + 10=50. 50+50=100.
Is this a trick question? The age is the sun is approx 4.6 billion years!
son- b/t 3 and 4 dad- b/t 36 and 48
There is not enough information to find the father, nor his age.The sum of their ages, in y years' time will be 7b + 2y years.
The father is 40 and his son is 14, a difference of 26 years and their combined ages equal 54.
Answer: 30 (Dad) & 6 (Son) 2 years later they will be 32 & 8 which equals 40.
Total ages at present = 42 Total ages in 10 years = 52 Fractions then 15/26 x 52 and 11/26 x 52, ie 30 and 22 so ages now 25 and 17
He is 67.

108 years Father = 72 Son = 36 (1/2 of father's) 72 + 36 = 108
There isn't really an exact number of years ago, but it was probably about 1500 years ago.

Sue is 10. Leah is 16 John is 15 Making the combined ages 41.
If she was 30 when her son was born, then the minimum age she can be is 40 because the minimum age the kid can be is 10. That would make the father 50 because 40 + 10=50. 50+50=100.
son is 10, father is 33
