Wilfred is 4 years old. His father's age is 7 times his age. How old is his father?
7 * 4 = ?
7 * 4 = 4 * 7
= 7 + 7 + 7 + 7
= 14 + 14
= ?
To find the age of Wilfred's father, you can start by using the information given.
Let's assume Wilfred's age as "W" and his father's age as "F". According to the problem, we are given that Wilfred is 4 years old (W = 4). The problem also states that Wilfred's father's age is 7 times his age. Mathematically, we can represent this as F = 7W.
To find the age of Wilfred's father, we need to substitute the value of Wilfred's age (W = 4) into the equation for his father's age. By doing so, we can determine his father's age.
F = 7W
F = 7(4)
F = 28
Therefore, Wilfred's father is 28 years old.
