Question

Math problem....

Suki wrote this multiplication story 3x6:
I have 3 brothers. I am 6 years older than Akita. How old am l?
What's wrong with suki's problem? Explain your thinking. Rewrite the multiplication story so that it works 3x6.

Answer 1

The problem with this is that we do not know Akita's age. All we know is that he has 6 brothers and is 6 years older than Akita. Once you know akita's age you can add 6 years and then you will know how old Suki is.
