Marika's birthday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2008

Step-by-step explanation:

when she is 12 (4 years after 2004) her dad will be 36, which is 3 x 12, therefore, in 2008 he will be able to say this.

Answer:

  2008

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in their ages is ...

  4m -m = 3m = 3(8) = 24 . . . years (Marika was 8 in 2004)

__

Marika's age when the father was 3 times her age was ...

  3m -m = 2m = 24 . . . years

  m = 12 . . . . . Marika was 12 when her father was 3 times her age

That is 12 -8 = 4 years from 2004, so it will be true in 2008.
