Question

Felicia’s mother is four times as old as Felicia. In 16 years, her mother will be twice her age. How old is Felicia now?

Answer 1

Felicia is currently 8 years old.

Explanation:

F=x FM=4x

4x+16=2x+0

4x=2x-16

4x/2x=2x/2x-16

2x=-16

x= (+-)8

Now double check

8yrs+16yrs=24

32yrs+16yrs=48

24 x 2 =48
