Math Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - Sept. 5, 2021 to Sept. 11, 2021

Lower Elementary: 

Question: John is older than Michael. Wendy is older than John. If Michael is 3 years old and Wendy is 12 years old, could John be 120 months old? 

Answer: Yes

Solution:  There are 12 months in a year, so John must be 10 years old because 12 months 10 times is 120 months. Since 10 years is older than Michael’s 3 years and younger than Wendy’s 12 years, that means John could be 120 months old.
