Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!
Does it give you any more information related to the context of the question? Typically a IRA question will be asking about things like when the deadline is to make a contribution for a specific tax year, trying to figure out the type of IRA that is worth funding, or wanting you to do a calculation of what the future value might be based on the amount and frequency of his contributions. In most of those cases you would be approaching it like a time value of money calculation in order to solve or looking up the procedural information.
I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)
