Here is a quote from the book Laura recommended: The Two Princess of Barmarre.
"I'm a bit older than you are, but not a great deal older. I'm seventy-eight. If I were human, I'd be just about seventeen."
My birth date is May 9, 1978. Can you tell me how "old" I'd be if I were in this guy's family?
Well, using cross products youwould have 17/78 = 31/x...
ReplyDeleteSo then you would have...
17x=2418
17x/17=2418/17
x=142.23529411............
(I didn't know how to make a squigley = sign)
So, Mrs. Elleston would be about 142.24 years old if she was in this guys family.
