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??

If mike is 6 years old and twice as old as his brother then how old will he be when he is one and a half his brothers age?

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.
