Answer:

9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age = x

Age 6 years ago = x - 6

Thrice my age 6 years ago = 3*(x -6) =3x - 3*6 = 3x - 18

Twice my present age = 2 *x = 2x

Thrice my age 6 years ago be subtracted from

twice my present age  = 2x -  (3x - 18)

2x - (3x - 18) = x

2x - 3x  + 18 = x                  

    -x  + 18 = x              {Add x to both sides}

             18 = x + x

              18 = 2x              {Divide both sides by 2}

           18/2 = x

x = 9 years

kodGreya [7K]
This is the concept of scale factor. The linear scale factor is given by:
(height of sculpture)/(height of clothespin)
=20/(5/12)
=48
Given that a woman is 5ft 7 in, the sculpture of this woman would be:
height of sculpture=(scale factor)*(height of the woman)
height of the woman=5 ft 7 inches=5 7/12 ft=67/12 ft
hence the height of the sculpture will be:
67/12×48
=268 ft

Answer: 268 ft
