Question

The sum of the ages of Rudy and his father is 58 years. The difference in their ages is 32 years. How old is each ?

Answer 1

Rudy is 13 years old. Her father is 45 years old.

Explanation:

It's very simple actually!

All you need to do is subtract 32:

58 - 32 = 26

Then divide:

26 ÷ 2 = 13

13 is Rudy's age. Let's find her father's age!

We then add 32 back to 13:

32 + 13 = 45

And there you have it!

Hope this helped! :)
