Insecurity:All of you no sabi word problem,the answer is 80 years old. Blue3k duro4chang Amaka791 Jude79. Let my age be x, my sister age is 2x[twice my age] I am 2 years old,my sister is 4 years old. I am 40 years old,my sister is 80 years. Nlfpmod Mynd44. |
Re: How Old ? by HarlequinLekex: 10:28am On Nov 01, 2022 |
Insecurity:Let my age be y,my sister age is 2y. When i was 2 yr old,she was 4 yr old.When i am 40 yr old,she will be 80 yr old. There is no way it can be 42 or 44. when i was 2 she was 4,is it possible for me to be 40 now and she is 42 or 44 or 38.

Though mathematics showed me flames back in high school to a point that I even dropped it, I think the sister is now 80 years. HarlequinLekex: |
Re: How Old ? by Nobody: 12:56pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
HarlequinLekex: When i was 2 my sister was twice my age,that means 2×2=4 She is 2 years older than i am Now i am 40 she should be 42 And i insist i am very correct. |
Re: How Old ? by duro4chang(m): 2:06pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
Amaka791:42 is the correct answer. No argument about that. 1 Like |
Re: How Old ? by HarlequinLekex: 2:10pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
Amaka791:So if you were 3 and she was 6,now you are 40 she will be 43 abi? The question said twice my age and not two years older than me. |
Re: How Old ? by HarlequinLekex: 2:14pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
Amaka791:the question says twice my age and not two years older than me,mathematics na ur mate.duro4chang |
Re: How Old ? by Nobody: 3:00pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
duro4chang: This is no logic ,it is a very simply question |
Re: How Old ? by jude79(m): 4:47pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
HarlequinLekex: But twice of two is four |
Re: How Old ? by guobe: 7:20pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
jude79:it should be 80 |
Re: How Old ? by Nobody: 11:10pm On Nov 01, 2022 |
42 no doubt. |
Re: How Old ? by Blue3k(m): 1:53am On Nov 02, 2022 |
HarlequinLekex: It says she was twice my age at 2 years old. Then the problem tells you 38 years passed. Time moves linearly so she won't remain two times older forever. It would not make sense for the sister to grow twice as old for every year the sibling grows. The sister won't turn 6 next year when he turns 3. |
Re: How Old ? by guobe: 2:38am On Nov 02, 2022 |
Thinking it should be 42 years on a second thought |
Re: How Old ? by fattprince(m): 7:02am On Nov 02, 2022 |
Blue3k:I wonder how people miss this question. It's seems like an insult to ask this question and when people still gets it wrong I feel deeply disappointed. I mean you don't even need a calculator. |
Re: How Old ? by fattprince(m): 7:04am On Nov 02, 2022 |
Amaka791:Exactly, the question wants to feel like logic but it's just a silly, stupid, simple question. You don't have to think far at all. But here we have harlequin getting it wrong and still boasting. He's not the first to get it wrong tho. Them plenty |
Re: How Old ? by fattprince(m): 7:14am On Nov 02, 2022 |
HarlequinLekex:Baba you dey wrong. Even if you would use word problem to solve it. It goes thus My age is 2 my sister is times 2 which is 4 So now I'm 40 which means 38 years don pass, so just had that 38 years to my sister 4 years too to give you 42. Abi your sister na allien wey they grow twice your age every year. Example the following year you will be 3 wouldn't your sister turn 5 abi na 6 she go turn? True this can't be solved as a word problem. |

fattprince:This is mathematics you don't compare questions with reality,solve according to the question. |
