Carmen is 5 1 ··4 years younger than Antoine. Katy is 11 1 ··2 years older than Carmen. To the nearest year, what is the difference in Antoine's age and Katy's age?

Respuesta :

Let, age of Carmen, Antoine and Katy is C, A and K.

And it is given that :

[tex]A - C = 5\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]                …1)

[tex]K-C = 11 \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]              ...2)

We need to find the difference in Antoine's age and Katy's age.

Subtracting equation 2) from 1), we get :

[tex]( A - C ) - ( K-C) =5\dfrac{1}{4} - 11\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\A - K = -6\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\K-A = 6\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, Katy is [tex]6\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] years older than Antoine.
