Sheila was born in New York. She moved to
California and lived there twice as long as
she lived in New York. Then she moved to
Montana, where she has lived for 8 years.
She is now 62 years old. How long did she
live in New York?


Sagot :

For this you need to work backward

Step 1:
Subtract the time she lived in Montana for

62-8 = 54

Step 2:
Because she lived in NYC for twice as long as Cali you need to divide by 3

54/3 = 18

Step 3:
Because she lived in NYC you have to double 18

18 x 2 = 36

Step 4:
Answer

She lived in NYC for 36 years
