Certainly! Here’s a more narrative explanation:
In a family, the combined ages of a father and his two sons total 78 years. The father is twice as old as the first son was when the second son was born. Additionally, the second son is half the age of the first son.
To find their ages:
- The first son is 24 years old.
- The second son is 12 years old.
- The father is 48 years old.
Answer: The father is 48 years old, the first son is 24 years old, and the second son is 12 years old.
