Ella is twice Bella's age, and Stella is three times Bella's age. The difference between Stella's and Bella's ages is 8 yrs. How old is each girl?
Stella is 12
Ella is 8
Bella is 4
Bella's age: x
Ella's age: 2x
Stella's age: 3x
difference between Stella's age and Bella's age is 8
3x - x = 8
etc.
To solve this problem, we can use algebraic equations. Let's say Bella's age is x.
According to the given information, Ella's age is twice Bella's age, so Ella's age is 2x.
Stella's age is three times Bella's age, so Stella's age is 3x.
The difference between Stella's and Bella's ages is 8 years, which gives us the equation: 3x - x = 8.
Simplifying this equation, we get: 2x = 8.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we find x = 4.
Therefore, Bella is 4 years old.
Using this value, we can find the ages of Ella and Stella.
Ella's age: 2x = 2 * 4 = 8 years old.
Stella's age: 3x = 3 * 4 = 12 years old.
So, Bella is 4 years old, Ella is 8 years old, and Stella is 12 years old.
