Question

Kevin is twice as old as his sister Amy their father is five times as old as Amy if the sum of the ages is 64 how old is Amy

Answer 1

8 years old

Explanation:

Set Amy's age as x.

Kevin's age will be 2x, since he is two times as old as Amy.

Father's age will be 5x, since he is five times as old as Amy.

x + 2x + 5x = Sum of the ages = 64

x + 2x + 5x = 64

Combine like terms: 8x = 64.

Divide 8 on both sides: x = 8.

Amy's age = 8.

Hope this helps!
