I've been having trouble on a few word problems my math teacher hasn't taught us to do yet, so, please help me if you can.
1. Nadia's age is 70% of Miranda's age. Four years ago Miranda was 1.6 times as old as Nadia. What are their ages now?
2. Lar's age is 80% of Tim's age. Five years from now, Lar's age will be 90% of Tim's age. How old is each of them?
3. Olivia, Newt, and John were each born 3 years apart, with Olivia the youngest and John the oldest. The sum of the squares of their ages is 606. How old is each?
4. April, Mae, June, and Julie were born in consecutive years, in that order, with April being the oldest. All they will tell you is that the sum of their squares of their age is 534. How old are they?
5. Terry can type a paper in 6 hours. George can type the same paper in 4 hours. If they work together, how long will it take to type the paper?
6. It takes Matilda 12 hours to clean a house. Herman takes 8 hours to clean the same size house. If they work together, how long will it take to clean the house?
You don't have to answer all of these, any of them will be helpful. Also, please explain how you solved them so I know how to next time. Thank you!
