You get the idea. There is no one right correct answer with the information you've given.
how are you getting these answers of the children ages
I divided 60 by 3 and found their average age was 20. I went from there.
thx alot we did that too.
You're welcome. :-)
my answer is each person is 20 in the mock family
To find the ages of the three children, we need to set up an equation based on the given information. Let's assume the ages of the three children are x, y, and z.
According to the problem, the sum of their ages is 60, so we can write the equation: x + y + z = 60.
However, we don't have any other information to directly solve the equation. We need another equation or condition to determine the ages of the children.
For example, if we are given that one child is twice as old as another child, we can use that information to set up another equation and then solve the system of equations.
Without any additional information, we cannot determine the ages of the three children in the Mocks family.
