Find the ages. Math verbal problem!

Question

Juan is five year older than Miguel. And Juan have half the age of Pedro. Find the ages.

Answer 1

J=M+5

J= P/2

P<<J<M

Pedro is oldest. Miguel youngest. Juan in the middle.

M>0, P probably<100 given actuarial tables, expected life spans

oldest likely possibilities are Pedro 99, Juan 50, Miguel 45 years old

youngest possibilities are Pedro 12, Juan 6, Miguel 1 year old

1<M<45

6<J<50

12<P<99

Best guesses might be averages

Miguel =23

Juan = 28

Pedro = 56

At least error is minimized with the averages
