If the oldest individual in an office is 57 and the range of employee ages is 29, what is the age of the youngest person in the office?
Can someone help me get this started?
The range is the difference of the extreme values.
In the particular example, the range is the difference between the oldest and the youngest persons.
Can you work with that?
57-x=29
x=57-29
x=29+-57
x=28
Did I do that right?
Yes. The youngest person is 28.
Thank you!
57=29^x...solve for x
Of course! To find the age of the youngest person in the office, we need to determine the minimum age within the range.
The given information tells us that the oldest individual in the office is 57 years old. It also tells us the range of employee ages is 29, which means that the difference between the oldest and youngest individuals is 29 years.
To find the age of the youngest person, we can subtract the range from the age of the oldest individual. In this case, it would be 57 - 29 = 28.
Therefore, the age of the youngest person in the office is 28 years old.
