Question

Kelly is 9 years old .In two years Kelly will be 1/3 of his mothers age now .What is his mother age

Answer 1

30 because 10 is 1/3 of 30

Answer 2

Answer: 31

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 2 = 11. 11 is how old Kelly is in 2 years.

1/3 of 33 is 11. Kelly's mother is 33 in two years, meaning two years ago, Kelly's Mother is 31.

Here is the full equation.   K = Kelly.    M = Kellys Mom

9k = m

2k + 9k = m + 2m

11k = m + 2

11k = $\frac{m}{3}$

M + 2 = 33

     -2    -2

m = 31
