Question

Answer 1

Answer: Jacob will be 1.5 his uncle Todd’s age in 37 years and 6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

• Todd: 33 years old
• Jacob: 12 years old

So, 1.5 Todd’s age (1.5 x 33) is equal to Jacob’s age plus the numbers of years asked. (12+x)

12 +x = 1.5 (33)

Solving for x

12 +x = 49.5

x= 49.5 -12

x =37.5 years

Since 0.5 years is half a year, and a year has 12 months.

0.5 years= 12 x 0.5 = 6 months

Jacob will be 1.5 his uncle Todd’s age in 37 years and 6 months.
