Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72

Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying the Complex Fraction
Convert Mixed Numbers to Fractions
56114=5654
Method 1 : LCD Multiplication
The LCD for 6 and 4 is 12
Multiply top and bottom by the LCD
12×5612×54=1015
convert to mixed numbers and
reduce fractions where possible
=1015=23
Method 2 : Fraction Division
Divide the top fraction by the bottom
(multiply top by reciprocal of bottom)
56÷54
=56×45
=2030
convert to mixed numbers and
reduce fractions where possible
=2030=23
