Question

Gabrielle's age is three times Mikhail's age. The sum of their ages is 64. What is Mikhail's age?

Answer 1

16 years old

Explanation:

Let's call Mikhail's age "x". Gabrielle's age is 3 times that, so her age is 3x. The sum of their ages is 64, so:

x + 3x = 64

4x = 64

x = 16

So, Mikhail's age is 16 years old.
