Question

John was 40 years old in 1995 while his father was 65.In what year was John exactly half his father's age?​

Answer 1

First, you would divide 65 by 2 and you would get 32.5. Then, You would subtract 32 from 40 to get 8. Finally you would subtract 8 by 1995 to get your answer for what year was john exactly half his fathers age and that year would be 1987. Your welcome :)

Answer 2

Answer:

1980.

Step-by-step explanation:

John was born in  1995 - 40 = 1955.

His father was born in 1995 - 65 = 1930.

Let x  be Johns age and his father 2x

1955 + x = 1930 + 2x

1955 - 1930 = 2x - x

x =  25

So the year is 1955 + 25 = 1980..

In that year John was 25 and his father was  50.
