Answer:

A man is 5 years older than his wife who is ten times older than his daughter. if the girl turns 8 in three years, how old is the man?

we calculate the current ages

the statement says:

- if the girl reaches the age of 8 in three years, today

the girl is 8-3 = 5 years old

-his wife who is ten times older than his daughter, today she is 5*10 =50 years old

-A man is 5 years older than his wife, today he is 50+5 = 55 years old

age of current man: 55 years old
