Answer 1

Paul is the oldest, Bill is in the middle and Fred is the youngest

Answer 2

`\text{Fred's age} < \text{Bill's age} < \text{Paul's age}`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Paul is older than Bill.

This can be written with the help of an inequality:

`\text{Bill's age} < \text{Paul's age}`

Fred is younger than Bill.

This can be written with the help of an inequality:

`\text{Fred's age} < \text{Bill's age}`

Bill's age is between Paul's and Fred's.

This can be written with the help of combining the above two inequalities:

`\text{Fred's age} < \text{Bill's age} < \text{Paul's age}`
