Math word problem

She was born on the 7th of April in 1985 and got the award on the 9th of July in 2010. How old was she when she got the award?

1985+5 years=1990
1990+20 years=2010

7 April+3 months=7 July

7 July+2 days=9 July

The answer is 25 years, 3 months and 2 days.

  1. Kia ora Te Raumati,

    I really appreciate your attempt to solve this mathematical-like equation! You did a great job at solving it!

    Here are some of my workings -
    2010 - 1985= ....years
    9th April → 9th July = ....months
    The difference between 7th and 9th = ....days
    The answer is 25 years, 3 months and 2 days

    Keep it up :)

    Ngā mihi,
    Mani
