Question

please help me this question is so hard :(:(:(

My grandson is about as many days as my son in weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 120 years. Can you tell me my age in years ?

Answer 1

Stat by converting 120 years into months

Answer 2

wut^^^

Answer 3

What the problem is saying is that the grandson is 6 days old the son is 6 months and the grandma is 6 years old. Obviously 6 isn't the answer. But they are asking what one number is equal to days compared to months compared to years. Then when they days and years are converted to years all three people's age equal 120.

Answer 4

So lets take a different approach and start with what we know. How many months are in a year?

Answer 5

OK, how about this....

120 years- (son's months+ grandson days)= grandma's years.

This is how we need to set up the equation. But first we need to decide what variables, and what integers to put in. So far they have only given us one integer 120 years. Then they say some number of months, and some number of days. So we need to make all of them look like either days, months, or years. I think it would be easier to make the months and days in term of year. So first how many months are in a year, and second how many days are in a year? You could also try to set up the equation in the form of...

Grandmas years+ sons's months + grandson's days= 120 years.

Pick one of the equation set ups and lets run with that.
