This seems like it would be a simple math problem but...... How do you create an equation and calculate the difference between 2 birthdays, putting the older person's on top?
5/17/1987 and 10/28/2002 PLEASE HELP ME!
Since this is subtraction, older person does not go "on top."
Calculate number of days from May 17 through December 31, then add 365( 2002-1987), then add days from Jan. 1 through October 28.
121/100
To calculate the difference between two birthdays, you need to find the number of days, months, and years between the two dates. Here's how you can do it:
1. Write down the older person's birthday and the younger person's birthday.
- Older person's birthday: 5/17/1987
- Younger person's birthday: 10/28/2002
2. Calculate the difference in years:
Subtract the year of the older person's birthday from the year of the younger person's birthday.
- 2002 (year of the younger person's birthday) - 1987 (year of the older person's birthday) = 15 years
3. Calculate the difference in months:
Subtract the month of the older person's birthday from the month of the younger person's birthday.
- 10 (month of the younger person's birthday) - 5 (month of the older person's birthday) = 5 months
4. Calculate the difference in days:
Subtract the day of the older person's birthday from the day of the younger person's birthday.
- 28 (day of the younger person's birthday) - 17 (day of the older person's birthday) = 11 days
5. Write down the final result in the format "years, months, and days":
- The difference between the two birthdays is 15 years, 5 months, and 11 days.
So, the difference between the two birthdays is 15 years, 5 months, and 11 days, with the older person's birthday on top.
