Question

Ben is 12 years older than Ishaan. Ben and Ishaan first met two years ago. Three years ago, Ben was 4 times as

old as Ishaan.
How old is Ishaan now?

Answer 1

Ishaan is now 6.

Explanation:

If Ben is 12 years older, and you have the info that three years ago, he was 4 times as old, then all you have to do is divide 12 by 4, giving you 3. You add 3 to that because it's been three years. You have your answer of 6.

Hope this helps! :)
