Question

The wilsons have triplets and another child who is ten years old. The sum of there ages of their children is 37. How old are the triplets?

Answer 1

The triplets are each 9 years old.

37 - 10 = 27

27 / 3 = 9

Answer 2

The triplets are 9 years old.

Explanation:

What I did was,

37-10= 27

27/3 = 9

Because the one child was 10 I subtracted it to the sum of the ages and then divided the answer by three because they are triplets and I got 9.

So if d o 10 + 9 +9 +9 = 37.
