Let F be the father's age, let S be the son's age
when: F = 60,
S = F/2 = 60/2 = 30

this means S = F-30

this means:
F/4 = F -30
F = 4F - 120
-3F = -120
F = 40

If the boy was 4 times less his father's age,
at this instance:
S = 40/4 = 10

therefore the son was 10 years old, the father was 40

Let f be the fathers age and let s be the sons age

f = 60 s = 30
when f = 45
s = 15 which is only a third if his fathers age

when f = 40
s = 10 which is a quarter of his fathers age

therefore when his father was 4 times his age, the son was 10

Nathan has three pieces of wood the first is 9.8 feet in length the second is 7.5 feet in length and the third is 12 feet in len
snow_tiger [21]
9.4 Ft for the first one

7.5 Ft for the second piece

12 Ft for the Third

he uses 5.2 Ft from the first piece of wood so 9.4 - 5.2= 4.6ft
he uses 6.1 ft from the second piece of wood , 7.5 - 6.1 = 1.4 ft
Nathan didnt use any of the 3rd piece of wood , so he still have 12 Feet of wood remaining so, 12+4.6+1.4 = 18 feet of wood left that he didnt use.
