If Mike is 6 years old and twice as old as his brother, then his brother is 3 years old. When Mike is one and a half times his brother's age (1.5 * 3 = 4.5), he will be 4.5 years older than his brother. Therefore, Mike will be 6 + 4.5 = 10.5 years old when he is one and a half times his brother's age.

Janesix years old is twice as old as her brother how old will Jane be when she is one and half times as old as her brother?

I am not sure if this is the correct process but as I understand it, this is my solution: Since Jane is 6 years old and she is twice as old as her brother. Which means Jane's brother is 3 years old. brother = x Jane = 2x 2x = 6 x= 3 Now, we need to solve for the year/s needed for Jane to be one and half times older than his brother: years = x Jane = 6 brother = 3 1.5 ( 3 + x) = 6 + x 4.5 + 1.5x = 6+ x 1.5 x - x = 6 - 4.5 .5x = 1.5 x = 3 Therefore, Jane is 9 (6+3) and her brother is 6 ( 3+3). Is this correct??


Sarah is sixteen years old and four times as old as her brother How old will Sarah be when she is twice as old as her brother?

She will be 24.S=16 (Sarah is 16 years old)S=4B (Sarah is 4 times as old as her brother)S/4=B16/4=BB=4 (Sarah's brother is 4 years old)How old will Sarah be when she is twice as old as her brother?S+Y=2(B+Y); S= Sarah's age, B= Sarah's Brother's age, Y=years passed16+Y=2(4+Y)16+Y=8+2Y16=8+2Y-Y16=8+Y16-8=Y8=Y (Sarah will be twice as old as her brother after 8 years pass)How old is Sarah after 8 years pass?S+Y=Final Answer16+8=24Checking work:B+Y=4+8=12Is 12 half of 24? Yes.Therefore Sarah will be twice her brothers age when she is 24 and her brother will be 12.-------------------The keys here areSarah's age S = 16Sarah's brother's age B = 16/4 = 4Years that pass = TThe equation isSarah's future age is twice her brother's future age16+T = 2 (4+T)16+T = 8 +2T16 = 8+2T - T16 = 8 + T8 = TSarah's future age = 16 + T = 24


If in two years you will be twice as old as you were five years ago how old you are now?

12 because 12 + 2 = 14. 12 - 5 = 7, which is half of 14. So in two years you will be twice as old as you are now.
