So, when Philip was 11, Richard was as old as Philip is today. Therefore, the years that passed from the time Philip was 11 to today must be equal to the time that passed between Richards age then and now. We need to find a midpoint between the two ages--33 and 11. That will give us Philips age today--22 years old.<BR/><BR/>Does that make sense? Or is it still confusing?Della Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629925559418817649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986496025512505696.post-18798668423128929782008-03-06T20:50:00.000-05:002008-03-06T20:50:00.000-05:00IS IT 44 ?IS IT 44 ?Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149527109582882709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986496025512505696.post-61405639931841945332008-03-06T18:01:00.000-05:002008-03-06T18:01:00.000-05:00Close, but you're only half way there.Read it agai...Close, but you're only half way there.<BR/>Read it again.<BR/>The difficulty of this one is the complexity of the wording. -For me at least.<BR/>-DellaDella Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629925559418817649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986496025512505696.post-49918279151198132322008-03-06T14:05:00.000-05:002008-03-06T14:05:00.000-05:00thats my guess, but it seems too easy.thats my guess, but it seems too easy.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149527109582882709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986496025512505696.post-84877058329529987832008-03-06T10:42:00.000-05:002008-03-06T10:42:00.000-05:00is he eleven?is he eleven?Hollys Hobbieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191045168192171122noreply@blogger.com
